Greenwood police warn neighbors of grass fire
SUMMARY: Firefighters have successfully contained a grass fire on Norwood Drive in Greenwood, which burned approximately 30 acres but did not damage any homes. Just hours earlier, police were notifying residents about potential evacuations. The fire, under control in about two hours, was helped by favorable winds that pushed the flames away from nearby residences. Although there may be ongoing smoke in the area, the situation is stable. State forestry service members are working on a fire line around the blaze. Preliminary indications suggest that the fire may have been started by a hot engine from an ATV.
Emergency responders believe the fire started with a four-wheeler inside a storage building.

War Memorial Park could see renovations if voters pass Little Rock sales tax
SUMMARY: Five days before Arkansas’s election, Little Rock has a sales tax hike on the ballot aimed at funding crucial renovations to War Memorial Park. City officials emphasize the need for upgrades, as budget cuts had previously closed the park in 2019. Proposed improvements include a pickleball tournament complex, new pavilion, restaurant, and better lighting, with plans to redevelop Coleman Creek. If the sales tax passes, $14 million will initiate these renovations; if not, future projects may face delays until alternative funding sources are secured. City leaders urge public input on the proposed enhancements to enhance park accessibility and safety.
Little Rock officials say if the sales tax passes, pickleball courts and a restaurant could be added to War Memorial Park.
