Agenda: Construction Projects Addressing Challenges in Bentonville, Rogers
Construction projects are enhancing amenities in Bentonville and Rogers. Bentonville’s Quilt of Parks project is transforming the downtown area by connecting six parks and public spaces. This ambitious initiative includes a pedestrian-only promenade with features like sculptures, gathering spaces, and outdoor seating. The pedestrian zone extends from Northeast Third Street to Southeast Second Street and is being built in four phases. Funded by the Walton family and the Bentonville Advertising and Promotions Commission, the project is expected to take 18-24 months to complete.
In Rogers, upcoming projects focus on improving water utilities. The Wastewater Department is addressing corrosion issues by replacing unstable infrastructure, such as a 24-inch force main at the influent building. New composting technology is also being installed at the treatment facility, which includes mechanical in-vessels to replace static windrows. Planning and execution for these projects involve collaboration between city departments and external partners.
These projects demonstrate a commitment to enhancing the quality of life and addressing local issues in both Bentonville and Rogers by investing in infrastructure and public amenities.
