Williams said people from all over the world – as many as 7,500 – can be expected at the local event. The Peoples Bank is sponsoring the early stages of planning and will host a community meeting with Williams at 2 p.m. on Sept. 15. Community partners are encouraged to attend.
“This can be a great economic boost for Marion and Crittenden County,” read a news release from the bank.
Williams said it will take the full two years to plan the event. More information can be found online at SolarEclipse2017.com or StarGeezerAstronomy.com.
