Editorial Review on Millwood Dam Controversy and Compromise
A Nashville News editorial urges opposing any Millwood downstream dam while praising upstream dam plans. The piece notes a federal compromise to build one upstream and one downstream dam in the Little River Valley, supported by Hope, Texarkana, Magnolia, Ashdown, and others, and warns against delaying action that could undermine regional development. It cites Roy Loomis’s appeal in Prescott and stresses time being of the essence to avoid broader Arkansas River projects.
