Maumelle Fine Wines & Spirits is building a new and bigger location and relocating there.

Here's a list of projects and expected letting dates from the new voter approved sales tax.

I think most were hoping for something more community oriented but it's one less empty lot and they've really spent a lot of money rehabilitating the lot. The building and landscaping look very presentable.

Wow.. AHTD has a pretty bold plan out there for the redevelopment of Highway 10 between I-430 and Ferndale Cuttoff ~ 8.5 miles @ 64 million dollars. It's a pretty complex intersection for Arkansas drivers at Rodney Parham & Highway 10. Also cramming 6-8 traffic lanes in that narrow corridor will be intereseting to see!

It seems AHTD is starting to preparing to resume widening 67/167 where they left off at Redmond Rd and going north of Cabot. It will be very interesting to see how they 'fix' Jacksonville and bring the roads up to current design standards. There's very little shoulder (if at all) and median to work with through Jacksonville and the exit ramps will certianly need to be reworked to bring up to current design standards. http://www.arkansashighways.com/public_meetings/2012/061261/061261.aspx

I spend a lot of time working with retail stores - particularly Kroger. I've spoken with the store managers and district personnel who confirm a late '13 early '14 opening of the remodel and expansion. They rearranged everything to get customers used to the new layout to minimize disruption and confusion later on.

That extension is now complete.

The recently opened Kroger store in Maumelle is in the process of being reset to prepare for a remodel and expansion into a Kroger Marketplace in 2013.
