HOT SPRINGS Hot Springs will remain a metropolitan area in the eyes of the White House budget agency, allowing local officials to continue deciding how state and federal dollars are spent in Garland County.
The Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Area Standards Review Committee recommended the Office of Management and Budget raise the population threshold for metro status from 50,000 to 100,000 during the budget office s decennial review of the Metropolitan Statistical Area designation in early 2020.
