Browning Family Trust Annexation (ORD-26:029)
Jonesboro
Description
A 100%-signed petition to annex 160 acres of former rice/soybean farmland near Valley View, tied to a planned City Water and Light lift station. The committee declined to recommend it 2-5 after lengthy debate.
Impact summary
The City Council denied it on Sep 1, 2026.
Without annexation, the land stays in the county where the city has no zoning control under the 2025 repeal of extraterritorial jurisdiction — but residents avoid shouldering new service costs.
