CAPC is topic of council comments

With a light agenda that included no items needing any action, the Eureka Springs City Council spent its much of its regular meeting Monday sharing opinions about various topics.

Community summit set Monday at Auditorium

The public is invited to a community summit beginning at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 3, at The Auditorium to meet Katherine Andrews, Arkansas’ director of outdoor recreation. Andrews leads a new state office dedicated to growing economic development through outdoor recreation. Andrews had previously served since 2016 with the Arkansas Economic Development Commission as a project manager and later the director of small business and entrepreneurship development. The Outdoor Recreation Office is part of the Arkansas Parks, Heritage and Tourism Department and has a 10-person advisory board appointed by the governor.
