e have so many exciting things happening in North Little Rock.

City employees located in the North Little Rock City Services Building will move to the Blue Cross Blue Shield building on Pershing Boulevard in late October. North Little Rock’s Parks, Public Safety, and Public Works continue to make our city one of the best. The half penny sales tax approved in 2017 has funded many street, drainage, and sidewalk projects, as well as the new Justice Center and Levy Fire Station. Many of our fire stations have been renovated and we just broke ground for a new fire station in Burns Park that will replace Station #8 in Amboy. If voters continue the half penny on August 9, we will move forward with our plans for a new Central Fire Station, renovations to all North Little Rock Community Centers, and other additions to our Parks. We will also continue improvements in all Wards of the City for street, drainage, and sidewalk projects. I encourage you to stay informed by getting involved in your neighborhood association and visiting our social media sites - you can find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter under @cityofnlr. Enjoy your summer, and KEEP NORTH LITTLE ROCK PROUD!

he North Little Rock Community Garden Program, of the North Little Rock Neighborhood Services, is kicking into high gear as we enter the peak agriculture season. Our gardeners have been working hard to prepare their garden grounds and get a wide variety of produce planted.

We are excited to collaborate with the Mayor’s Summer Youth Program this season! Not only does this mean we will have extra hands on deck, but we are able to educate our up-and-coming leaders on how agricultural programming works within the City of North Little Rock.

During the spring season, Garden Coordinator Anna Sawyer hosted a weeklong planting class with the teachers and students of Pike View Early Childhood School. Each classroom designed their own garden bed sign and students learned that plants start as seeds before they root, shoot, grow, and bloom! The program also coordinated a series of volunteer opportunities for National Volunteer Week through a mini-grant sponsored by EngageAR. The programming included a flowerbomb workshop with the Arkansas Dream Center/Every Arkansan, a Levy Spur trail clean-up with North Little Rock Parks and Recreation, and a garden workday with the St. Joseph Center of Arkansas. If you and your community are interested in starting a community garden, please contact Anna Sawyer, ASawyer@nlr.ar.gov.

lans for the future Burns Park Fire Station #8 began back in 2018 to provide better service to North Little Rock residents and our firefighters. The new station has an estimated cost of $2.8 million and will be completely funded by the current “half penny” approved by voters in 2017. The new fire station will be a tremendous upgrade to the one currently located at 6550 MacArthur Drive in the Amboy neighborhood and will ensure that North Little Rock Firefighters

NLR PROUD

will be able to respond and service its fire district faster and more efficiently. The new station in Burns Park will replace the existing Amboy fire station. In addition, the location of the new station will allow faster response times to other fire stations that are located on the perimeter of North Little Rock.

The new Burns Park Fire Station #8 will be constructed with decontamination rooms that will form clean and dirty contamination corridors for additional health and 8

safety. The station will have four bedrooms, drive-thru bays and will house part of the department’s hazmat team, the bicycle team, and will accommodate the department’s second in-line battalion chief and battalion chief’s quarters. In addition to the most modern features and designs, the station will be connected to a North Little Rock Fire Department Memorial that will serve as the department’s place of honor for firefighters lost while on active duty.

he North Little Rock Firefighter Challenge will be held on September 8-10, 2022 at Dickey-Stephens parking lot on the west side of the Broadway Bridge. This event will bring firefighters from all over the country to the City of North Little Rock. This competition is a regional event that displays the physical aspects of a firefighter job. This is a fun, family-friendly event. If you have a business and would like to help support this event, please reach out to the North Little Rock Fire Department for details on how to become a sponsor.

Positioned near the adult version, the KFC travels with the Firefighter Challenge – providing a family-friendly and tangible method of capturing the enthusiasm of children and channeling it in a positive direction. The North Little Rock School District is in full partnership with the North Little Rock Fire Department, creating the First-Ever North Little Rock School Firefighter Challenge on September 8th, 2022.

uring National Police Week, the North Little Rock Police Department held its 2022 Fallen Officer Memorial Ceremony to honor those officers who made the ultimate sacrifice. Many family, friends and officers attended the memorial service as well as Mayor Terry Hartwick. Fallen, but not forgotten.

Thanks to our North Little Rock Police Department for participating recently in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Event. The National Prescription Drug Take Back in North Little Rock was a huge success with North Little Rock officers collecting a total of 749.2 pounds of prescription medication to turn over to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for destruction. Thanks to the community for depositing their unwanted, unused and expired prescription medication. A special thanks to Mayor Hartwick for his support, as well as our federal and community partners: Arkansas Drug Director Kirk Lane, DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jarad Harper, McCain Mall and Daniel Moving and Storage Company in North Little Rock for helping make this event a success.

Earlier this year, members of our North Little Rock Police Department and volunteers from several local organizations took time to read the “I Like Me” book to kindergarten students in the North Little Rock School District. The I Like Me book, developed by the North Little Rock Rotary Club, is personalized for every kindergarten student in the North Little Rock School District and focuses on developing self-esteem and togetherness through participation at school and interaction in their family and community. Each child was given their own personalized copy of the book that included their name, the names of two friends, their teacher’s name, the principal’s name and their school name. The North Little Rock Rotary Club has provided this book for the last 24 years. North Little Rock officers enjoyed this experience and reminded the kids that reading is FUNdamental and better with a friend! Thanks to the North Little Rock Rotary Club for making this wonderful event possible, and doing so since 1999.

Park Hill Baptist Church sponsored an appreciation luncheon for the North Little Rock Police Department.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and the opportunity to fellowship with members from the church congregation.

New Health Clinic in

Rose City

M

Little Rock City Council approved the purchase of land located at 4112 and 4120 Baucum Pike and 4132 East Washington Avenue in North Little Rock for $475,000. The parcel of land sits at the corner of Highway 70 (Broadway) and Highway 165, a perfect location. Residents in the east part of North Little Rock will soon have a new health clinic, as well as the North Little Rock unit of the Arkansas Department of Health.

The new healthcare clinic will be built by combining funds through the CARES Act, Community Development Block Grants and proceeds from the sale of unused city property. “Troy Wells, Chief Executive Officer with Baptist Health, and I are working together. The City of North Little Rock will purchase the property and build the structure.

Baptist Health will lease the structure from the city and furnish it with doctors and nurses,” Mayor Terry Hartwick shared. The City’s goal is to continue the revitalization of Rose City and the East Broadway corridor by ongoing investments in the community.

ayor Terry Hartwick held a meeting in January 2021 with health and community leaders to discuss the possibility of a much-needed healthcare clinic in Rose City for North Little Rock residents.

Mayor Hartwick was born and raised in Rose City and is adamant about providing equitable services to all areas of our city. Equally as passionate about medical care in Rose City are Ward 2 City Council members Linda Robinson and Maurice Taylor. “Rose City residents currently have to catch a bus and ride to Springhill Drive or John F. Kennedy Boulevard to see a doctor at an urgent care clinic if they have medical needs. A health clinic in the east part of our city would be a great addition for our residents, and much more convenient,” said North Little Rock City Council member Linda Robinson, who represents much of the city’s east side. In mid-2021, the Arkansas Department of Health approached the City about a possible new location for the North Little Rock Health Department. At the time, no land was available; however, in February 2022 the North

Isn’t it intriguing how Hollywood is able to sensationalize the story, utilize computers and catch the bad guy? There is a lot of information at a 911 dispatcher’s fingertips. Access to this information assists the North Little Rock Police Department and North Little Rock Fire Department to respond quickly to incidents and updates them with the call information as the incident unfolds.

Public Safety Dispatchers are trained to ask a variety of questions when a call is received in the 911 center. The more information the 911 dispatcher is able to obtain, the better the response time.

Jump Park Hill Start

ump Start is an economic development project funded through Metroplan that uses money from the Department of Transportation. It was a competitive grant, and North Little Rock received two grants for the Park Hill and Levy Jump Start Projects. The development of each site and participants’ desire to increase the walkability in their neighborhood was a major consideration when planning the Park Hill Jump Start Project.

A large number of public meetings have been held with local businesses and residents to gather input. Neighborhood notifications were sent to the entire community. It is hoped that improving the commercial corridor in both neighborhoods, increasing the walkability, attracting new customers and growth of businesses will positively affect the residential neighborhoods adjacent to the business districts.

The Park Hill Jump Start project began in May of this year on the east side of John F. Kennedy Boulevard at “A” street, and is moving north to “H” street, then turning south on the west side of John F. Kennedy down to “A” street. Once both the east and west sides of John F. Kennedy Boulevard have been completed, the project will continue on the median.

Scheduled completion date is May 2023.
