Fountain Square Park

Jonesboro

Description

A seven-lot preliminary subdivision at the old Fountain Square/Malco Theater site, with new right-of-way and water and sewer plans submitted. Approved as preliminary, with the existing East Arkansas office building to be torn down once the new office on the southeast corner lot is complete.

Impact summary

The site gets a path to redevelopment with new lots along Grant Street and Highland Drive, though the tricky Highland/Bernard intersection gets only a partial fix for now.
