Paris works to beautify its downtown Fort Smith Times Record It started with the Eiffel Tower Park in 2014. Then the town built the Love Lock Fence in 2017. And businesses started pouring back into Paris' downtown. But what really spurred the city to action was the move to create a Main Street program. The program is through Main Street Arkansas, a state group that supports cities' downtowns. Paris took its first step toward creating a program by starting with volunteers running a business network through Main Street Arkansas, said Tonya Fletcher, the executive director of the Paris Area Chamber of Commerce.
