Hope Real Estate Board asks Arkansas to reconsider land sale plan
A letter from the Hope Real Estate Board to Governor Ben Laney urges reconsideration of the states plan to acquire 45,000 acres in the Southwestern Proving Ground, designating it a game preserve and arguing the sale to the public would hurt local real estate revenue and community prospects. The board claims the land can be productive, supports farming and timber use, and proposes alternative sites like Millwood on the Little River for a game preserve and development.
