JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - Jonesboro and 143 other cities in the United States will keep their metropolitan status after a federal proposal to downgrade the cities was not adopted.
The federal proposal would have changed the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) designation to a population minimum of 100,000 from the original designation of 50,000.
Jonesboro, Texarkana, Hot Springs, and Pine Bluff were four cities in Arkansas that would have been affected by the change.
Jonesboro Mayor Harold Copenhaver says the city can now move forward with citywide projects without the fear of losing qualifications for grant money.
