LITTLE ROCK - Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson is ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange next week.
The exchange announced that the Republican governor will ring the bell Monday morning and visit its trading floor. The visit is the latest by the governor to tout the state and try to lure businesses to Arkansas since he was sworn in nearly a year ago. He's also made economic development trips to Europe, Cuba and Asia since taking office.
Hutchinson, a former congressman and federal Homeland Security official, was elected governor in 2014.
