A Chaffee Crossing committee approved plans by developers to create three new buildings.
Fort Chaffee Redevelopment Authority s Design Review Committee approved designs for Blake Properties off Chad Colley Boulevard, northwest of Custer Boulevard. The building, which will be separated into three suites, is near the Glatfelter plant.
Before construction begins, the design will also have to go before the Fort Smith Planning Commission for approval. All projects within the Fort Smith city limits have to go before the planning commission.
The Design Review Committee committee also approved a design for a property on the north side of Frontier Road and east of Chad Colley Boulevard in Barling. Workers will eventually create two buildings on the property. The buildings will each be two stories and will have four residential units on each top floor.
Fort Smith Times Record
When Irmalean Jones moved to Fort Smith, her housing options were more concentrated than they were in Louisiana.
Jones, 62, lives in Nelson Hall Beckman Center on North 31st Street after moving to the area from Alexandria, Louisiana two years ago. While Jones likes her home the residents are allowed to garden she did note the difference. They had them all through (the city), housing projects, she said of Alexandria.
Jones home is one of 471 rental units overseen by the Fort Smith Housing Authority. More than 90% of the Housing Authority s developments are built north of Rogers Avenue, and a majority of these are built north of Grand Avenue, said Fort Smith Housing Authority Executive Director Mitch Minnick.
