JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - The city of Jonesboro announced Tuesday it had received a $200,000 grant from the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism for a downtown park.
The matching grant requires 50% by the city, and Jonesboro Mayor Harold Perrin earmarked $100,000 in the 2021 budget to secure funding for the park.
The park will be near the southwest corner of Union and Monroe Street.
“With all the growth we are seeing downtown, from the promising prospects for the former Citizens Bank building to the new street lighting and development on Union, this is just perfect,” Perrin said.
