The Friends of the Old Mill
A few years ago a newly-constructed waterfall was dedicated at the historic Old Mill. The new waterfall was such a beautiful addition, the Old Mill Master Gardeners decided to landscape an adjacent hillside. The Friends of the Old Mill obtained a couple of grants from the North Little Rock City Beautiful Commission to complete the project and reached out to Deana Jones of Blue Lizard Landscaping.

GROWTH in North Little Rock
In 2020, Koppers Incorporated announced a $40 million upgrade and expansion to their facility off Bethany Road in North Little Rock. The original expansion plan was to close the North Little Rock facility and combine it with another facility. North Little Rock, the state of Arkansas and Pulaski County worked together to keep Koppers in North Little Rock. Koppers has been a part of our city since 1907 and now will remain!
Hale Trailer, Brakes and Wheel Incorporated currently located off Harris Drive in North Little Rock recently broke ground on a new 26-acre facility last year at the corner of Industrial Drive and Interstate 440. Hale is an authorized distributor of the finest quality Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) products. They put their reputation for dependability and service excellence behind every part and piece of commercial trailer equipment they offer!
Manhattan Road and Bridge, a road construction firm with offices in Little Rock, Northwest Arkansas and now North Little Rock, has been awarded a $87.3 million widening project by the Arkansas Department of Transportation on the west end of Interstate 630. The new location is 8400 Industry Drive in east North Little Rock. Manhattan Road and Bridge was recently ranked seventh on the Engineering News Record’s (ENR) Top Contractor in Transportation – Bridges.
Central Commerce Center Industrial Park, a brand new tilt-wall industrial business park in North Little Rock, offers outstanding access to primary arterials for interstate commerce and logistics.

Pictured is the nearly completed Lowes distribution warehouse, a 1.2 million-square-foot bulk distribution warehouse on 115 acres in North Little Rock, creating 300 new jobs. This distribution warehouse is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2023. The Lowes distribution warehouse is the most prominent building in the tulip farm area of North Little Rock. The site has seen unprecedented growth in the last three years, and more development is planned for this area.
The Maly Group has begun prepping its North Little Rock site (the old Wild River County location) for a high-tech center that will have something for everyone: T-Time golf, an electronic driving range, HyperLanes bowling, a virtual arcade as well as restaurants, specialty shops, and more. So far, 800,000 truckloads of dirt have been excavated from this site. The Maly Group plans to start construction in early July of this year. In addition, for citizens that miss the Wild River County water theme park, the group says they will keep the old tower and even tease keeping Wild River Country in the new name.
The completed Amazon facility in the forefront is a one-million-square-foot fulfillment center on 140 acres with over 1,500 employees. In the background, a nearly complete Lowes Distribution warehouse is a 1.2 million-square-foot bulk distribution warehouse on 115 acres, creating 300 new jobs. These two facilities comprise almost 2.5 million square feet of space and nearly 2,000 jobs.

NEW Police Academy Graduates Female Officers
The North Little Rock Police Department is building a firm foundation for our community and has created a new means to recruit new officers. Those considering a career in law enforcement now have an 18-week training academy available in North Little Rock where recruits will learn the requirements to serve and protect citizens. Lieutenant Steve Chamness oversees the North Little Rock Police Academy and noted what a substantial commitment and asset the academy is for the North Little Rock Police Department. “Placing the right person in the right position is crucial for any successful law enforcement agency,” shared North Little Rock Police Chief Patrick Thessing. Extensive training is needed in endurance, safety, and decision-making for each recruit to understand the significance of becoming a law enforcement officer. In this academy, the main focus in recruiting participants is quality, not quantity. Numerous divisions within the police department share their knowledge in teaching and preparing these recruits.

Bill Protects Officers Statewide
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently signed a bill creating a new Arkansas law which creates a separate felony charge when an offender either attempts to or disarms an officer with the intent to cause harm to the officer or the public.
The bill was created by retired Lieutenant Jim Scott of the North Little Rock Police Department, who has continued his service working for the City of North Little Rock in the City Clerk’s Office. Arkansas joins other states like Texas and California who have adapted this powerful law to help protect our officers.
Representative Carlton Wing sponsored and introduced House Bill 1521. Senator Kim Hammer as well as Representatives Jamie Scott and Danny Watson joined in the sponsorship.
“Creating this bill and watching it become law is a way for me to give back to our state and community after 33 years of law enforcement work. This law will increase the safety of our brave public servants,” shared Lieutenant Scott.
The North Little Rock Justice Center was recently recognized by Officer Magazine, a national publication, with the Gold Award for the design of efficient spaces which provides an opportunity for a more unified police staff. The Gold Award was presented to the City of North Little Rock for the focus on public safety and the resources provided to our community. Officer Magazine acknowledged our growth as a city and the significance of our law enforcement officers. One of the main components of the Justice Center’s design is the state-of-the-art training spaces, one of which was used this past March as an Emergency Operations Center after the devastating tornado. The North Little Rock Justice Center has become an integral part of our city.

The North Little Rock Elks Club
has contributed to the success of our city for almost 120 years through their service and leadership. Over 5,500 members have contributed hours to our community and helped so many young people have options as they graduate from high school. Earlier this year, Elks Club members bagged over 400 sack lunches and distributed them to disaster clean-up crews in our city. They also took time to serve employees of the North Little Rock Street Department lunch during a special THANK YOU.
This year, the Elks Club raised almost $10,000 for annual, renewable scholarships which they awarded to 14 local students. Over the past 10 years, the Elks Club has presented over 144 scholarships, totaling over $92,000. The Elks Club awards scholarships annually based on service, leadership and academic achievements. The Elks Club scholarship program is important for the future of our city. The more scholarships the Elks Club and other organizations give to our students, the better prepared our future workforce will be and that makes our city more attractive to businesses.

Business Spotlight Blue Nyla
Article by Emilee Hagewood
Stacey Reynolds was at a point in her life 25 years ago where her health was declining and felt as though something greater than her was calling her to yoga and her life completely changed. Reynolds began attending classes five-to-six times a week and studied under her instructor, who after a year asked Reynolds to teach. Reynold’s church reached out, and asked her to lead a “stretch and tone” class as a way to connect with the community and from there her practice took off. The older community members loved doing yoga and wanted to keep coming back for more classes. Within a year of teaching, Reynolds found herself with an advanced age-specific group that kept growing. Thirteen years ago, Stacy opened her studio and a lot of the same students like Bill Lesher are still practicing with her today. As Lesher practiced yoga more and more, his teachers and peers started to encourage him to take a yoga course, where he could be trained to teach. While Bill was taking part in his yoga training, Lesher’s wife contracted COVID-19 on two separate occasions, which eventually left her hospitalized for weeks. Lesher spent his mornings and evenings in the hospital with his wife, and his days training at the studio. Even suffering through a brain bleed himself, Lesher never missed a meeting and completed the 200hour course at 85 years old.
and
pose for a picture at Blue Nyla after chair class. Lesher has been one of Reynolds’s students for years, and recently completed a 200-hour yoga course to become a certified yoga instructor.
Chair yoga is a modified version of regular yoga mostly used by senior citizens and people with mobility issues. It allows people confined to wheelchairs or beds the ability to stay mobile and keep their bones and muscles moving and healthy. Lesher said that without yoga, he wouldn’t be nearly as healthy as he is today. It’s a challenge to keep on going but Lesher remains steadfast in his practices and being a part of the Blue Nyle Yoga community has been a source of inspiration and encouragement for many years.
Anyone who is interested in strengthening their body and mind is welcome to participate. Senior chair classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday at 10:00 a.m. Blue Nyla is located in Park Hill at 3801 John F. Kennedy Boulevard.

GardensCommunity
Our volunteers have been busy bees – hosting workdays, distributing fresh and nutritious produce, and curating community one garden at a time. Keep your eyes peeled for those beloved Arkansas heirloom tomatoes, squash, watermelon, and much more! During the spring season, our program distributed free soil amendments, seeds, bulbs, and starter plants to gardens in our network! Our volunteers attended several workshops hosted by the Central Arkansas Sphynx Foundation and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff where they learned how to build raised beds, effectively companion plants, and grow mushrooms. Additionally, we offered several planting lessons at schools in the North Little Rock School District. Through all the excitement, we continued to support Engage AR’s state-wide Little Free Pantry project.
If you are interested in starting a community garden or improving an already-existing garden within North Little Rock city limits, you are in luck! The North Little Rock Community Garden Program is accepting fall-funding applications through June 15, 2023. The digital application is available at www.nlr.ar.gov/communitygardens.
