ST. FRANCIS COUNTY, Ark. (KAIT) - After months of fighting, the Pine Tree Research Station land will stay open to the public.
HB1694 passed the Senate 31-3 this week, and heads to Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s desk to be signed into law.
From there, it will take immediate effect, preventing the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture from selling the Pine Tree land to a private entity or individual.
