Now that we’re in mid-year 2016, it’s time for an update.  I’m proud to advise you that the following projects have been completed:

Ralph Bunche Park improvements, Kroger Market Place/Academy Sports and associated stores and restaurants are now open.  Additionally, last year several projects I highlighted are now underway; Riverside Park, Longhills Links and the Shoppes of Benton.  It’s been a struggle, but the Alcoa Road rebuild will get underway sometime late summer 2016.  If you really want to know what’s going on in your hometown visit our Blog at www.bentonproud.com and our Facebook page at Benton Arkansas – Benton Proud.
