Downtown Springdale Alliance Seeks Public Input on Downtown Springdale Master Plan Update at Public Workshops
Springdale, AR – Downtown Springdale Alliance is seeking public input as it reviews and updates the master plan which was developed and adopted in 2015. The Downtown Springdale Master Plan Update is a joint effort of the City of Springdale and Downtown Springdale Alliance supported by the Walton Family Foundation and the Tyson Family Foundation.
The City of Springdale and the Downtown Springdale Alliance is working with H3 Studio—the professional planning consultant who worked to develop the 2015 Downtown Master Plan.
The updated master plan for downtown Springdale will guide its development for the next 5-10 years. It serves as the basis for economic development, quality residential growth and general improvements to ensure a vibrant community for businesses and residents. The key focus will include downtown housing, parking, public and private art, street and infrastructure improvements, and the integration of the Luther George Park Expansion and Renovation and Jones Center Campus Renovation projects into the urban fabric of Downtown Springdale.
A dedicated website for the Master Plan Update has been established at dsmasterplanupdate.org. Springdale residents, downtown Springdale businesses and visitors have been able to engage in the planning process through online surveys. More than 1,000 survey responses were received prior to the February 28 deadline.
The community can continue to engage in the planning process through public input sessions in March. Participants can expect to hear a summary of the survey feedback and engage in facilitated work sessions. The sessions are free and open to the public. Dates and locations are below:
Wednesday, March 30, 2022; 6:30 PM; 214 South Main Street
Thursday, March 31, 2022: 6:30 PM; The Jones Center
Additional public workshops will be held in May on the following days:
Wednesday, May 18, 2022; 6:30 PM; 214 South Main Street
Thursday, May 19, 2022: 6:30 PM; The Jones Center
