MLK Expressway Extension

On June 28, 2016 Garland County residents voted to approved a bond issue secured by a 5/8 percent sales tax beginning in 2017 to fund road and bridge work in the county.

Included in the road improvement projects is a 6 mile, 2-lane extension of the MLK Expressway from the eastern terminus to the intersection of Highways 5 and 7 at Fountain Lake.

The MLK Expressway extension has been considered a major priority toward enhancing public safety and stimulating economic growth and development in the county for over a decade.

Completion of the extension, as with any new infrastructure, will provide long-term benefits. Especially important to residents of Hot Springs Village who will gain countless advantages as commute times to and from Hot Springs are greatly reduced.

Once completed, the extension will make it easier and

quicker for ambulances to transport patients to Hot Springs hospitals. This will also shorten the turn-around time in which ambulances can return to Hot Springs Village and respond to addition calls.

Residents of Hot Springs Village will have less travel times, thus making shopping, dining and attending medical appointments and other activities in Hot Springs more accessible and convenient. In addition, the shorter commute time between Hot Springs Village and Hot Springs will make living in Hot Springs Village an attractive alternative for those working in Hot Springs and other areas.

Public Works Department Acquires New Equipment

In August, the Public Works Department took delivery of three new Caterpillar backhoes and three new Peterbilt sanitation trucks with Loadmaster bodies.

Prior to receiving the new equipment, the average age of the backhoe fleet ranged from 8 to 15 years. Leasing the backhoes allows us to update our fleet and reduce expenses in maintenance and fuel. The configuration for the newly acquired backhoes enhances the capabilities of each unit

Hot Springs Village Advocate Fall 2016

making them more flexible in various applications; they can be moved from one department to another with no loss of operational capability. The flexibility of the configuration will allow a reduction of the number of backhoes in our fleet from ten to six.

The POA serves 7,855 residential household, with refuse collection and disposal.

Each residential garbage truck averages about 640 daily pickups, and disposal of eight tons of garbage per day. Updating this fleet will reduce maintenance and operating costs.

Hot Springs Village News Public Works Update The board approved the 2016 Paving Program at the April 20, 2016 regular meeting. The program includes milling and asphalt replacement on DeSoto Blvd., micro-surfacing Village roads, and mowing of roadway shoulders throughout Hot Springs Village.

Cranford construction of Little Rock, Arkansas was awarded the bid for milling and overlay of select sections of DeSoto Blvd. between Los Lagos and Fresno Rd. and completed the project in early August. The project consisted of removing deteriorated sections of the roadway where potholes formed and required re-occurring maintenance for the Street Department.

The bid for crack sealing and micro-surfacing of 15 miles of roadway throughout Hot Springs Village was awarded to Vance Brothers, Inc. of Kansas City, Missouri. Work is expected to begin September 12, 2016 and completed by early October.

HSVPOA contracted with Tim Cosby Tree Service of Jessieville, Arkansas for mowing of roadway shoulders throughout the Village. The initial cycle of mowing is completed, and many of the primary routes are being mowed for the second time. Cycle two will begin later this year.

New Homes Under Construction The Permitting & Inspections Department issued 30 new home permits thru August 2016.

If you are thinking about building a new home call 501-922-5562 or stop by the office in the POA Building. New home information packets are available in the office or upon request by mail.

The information packet covers what is required to obtain the new home permit for construction.

In 2015, a total of 60 new home permits were issued in Hot Springs Village.

Hot Springs Village Social and Economic Impact 2016 Hot springs Village made a $371 million impact on Arkansas in 2015, most of which was in Garland and Saline counties.

Approaching its 50th birthday, our 26,192-acre community continues to grow and evolve. From a developer’s dream to the largest gated community in the nation, the Village today is home to more than 14,000 residents who are having a bigger impact than ever before.

Hot Springs Village Social and Economic Impact 2016 is an updated, expanded report on the Village’s social and economic impact. It is the most comprehensive collection of [Hot Springs Village] history, data and demographic detail ever assembled in one document. Combined with several new web sites, it becomes an invaluable resource for information on the Village.

The report tells the story of a unique planned retirement, relocation and recreation community in this third phase of evolution. First came Cooper Communities, Inc.’s initial planning and infrastructure construction. Then came growth. Lots were platted, streets built, homes added, and Villagers began moving in.

After 30 years, the Village eased into its current phase. As the last of 34,152 lots were sold, the developer backed away, and the owners -through the Property Owners’ Association – assumed the management and leadership role.

A comprehensive outline of where the Village is going in the coming years is detailed in the latest Master Plan available on the website at hsvpoa.org/files/pdf/HSV-Masterplan.pdf Impact 2016 shows the Village’s economic effect is enormous. In 2015 its contribution to the state’s economy was $371 million. Of that, resident and visitor spending was $258 million, and federal health-care spending was $93 million. From 2010 to 2015, construction spending was $17 million. Two-thirds of the $371 million Village economic spending was in Garland and Saline counties.

The rest extended throughout the state.

While the Village’s economic impact has been growing, so has its social impact. Villagers took major strides in recent years to be more involved with its two counties and two school districts, the cities of Hot Springs and Benton, and State government. The result has been a greater understanding of the Village, its unique form government and its residents– many of whom have the time, talent, experience and financial wherewithal to help those around them– which they do.
