Sprucing up the Fort - VIDEO
Have you traveled the intersection at
Old Greenwood Road and Phoenix Avenue during daylight hours lately? If not, you’re missing something wonderful! Volunteers, property owners, and private businesses have come together to
Beautify Fort Smith. This corner near an I–540 interchange is only the beginning. The group has plans for
Rogers & I–540, once the
Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department construction is complete. The ultimate objective is to create manicured and welcoming spaces at
every City of Fort Smith interchange along the I–540 corridor. Learn more about the Old Greenwood Road and Phoenix Avenue project
in this short VIDEO.
Waytago, fellas!
A couple of guys in the trenches of public service with the City of Fort Smith have earned recognitions this month. The families of
Matthew Ball, Department of Sanitation, and
Marcus Floyd, Fort Smith Fire Department, have reason to be proud. A citizen praised Matthew for returning a prized pockt knife and some other items he’d lost while walking. Firefighter Floyd doubled-up on state-wide honors during rookie firefighting school. These two men remind us all that, day in and day out, our employees consistently perform outstanding work for our citizens.
FSFD: calendar centerfold - VIDEO
It’s tempting to keep the wall calendar in our offices posted six months ahead, because the month of July features a photo of a gorgeous FSFD fire truck parked in front of the riverfront events building at
Riverfront Park. The Fort Smith Fire Department pumper is featured on the
Pierce Manufacturing full-color 2014 calendar. Yes, we’ve tried to get extras. No, we haven’t had any luck. We’re looking forward to having the
image posted here in July, though! Meantime,
enjoy this brief VIDEO.
