Saline County is not running out of water.
Securing additional long-term water resources as been a discussion for more than 50 years.

June Keck-
The Monster Trucks will have much more room to maneuver on the floor of the Saline County Fairplex which more square footage than Verizon Arena and Barton Coliseum. Not that anyone wishes to attend an event at Barton Coliseum out of fear…
During the catastrophic collapse of the housing market in 2008 and 2009, Verizon Arena broke even. I would say that is a testiment to the viability of their facility. I wish their Board of Directors the very best.
Thomas Paine-
You are quite gifted in the arts of twisting ones words.
-Brad
The Verizon Arena information was provided in response to the erroneous allegation that "it continuously operates in the red. Therefore, the Fairplex is doomed.". In spite of the fact that the Fairplex was not designed to compete with Verizon Arena.…
Angelia-
As Robin said, there are managers of events wanting to book dates at the Saline County Fairplex. In spite of the fact that it does not exist.
You and I both know there are no guarantees.

- I am a "lifer" since 1964 - born at Saline Memorial Hospital (Dr. Hogue) graduated from Benton High School in 1982. I have deep roots in Saline County. My great-great grandfather, Charles Franklin Moore, was a Confederate hero who lost a portion of one arm while being held in a Yankee prison. In 1861, he served as Treasurer of Saline County and after returning from the war was the 2nd pastor of First Baptist Church of Benton. His son, Alfonso Moore, worked as the janitor/maintenance man of the Saline County Courthouse when it opened in 1902. Another responsibility for Alfonso was winding the clock at the courthouse. He died on a Sunday morning (after winding the clock) in front of Benton State Bank (currently Regions Bank). My grandfather, Lee Moore, worked at Alcoa and served as President of the local chapter of the "CIO" labor union before it merged with the "AFL".
From my mother's side, my Papaw Lefty worked at Reynolds for 30+ years. Funny thing, he would talk about working the "Graveyard Shift" and I took that quite literally (I pictured him in his hard hat and work boots performing some type of maintenance work at a graveyard). My Mamaw Ruby's family (The Fosters) originated in Montgomery County (Lake Ouachita) and worked in the timber industry. They lived in an elaborate "covered wagon" - similar to a mobile home. It was a huge flatbed trailer with heavy canvas walls that were "modularized". They migrated with the timber industry during its season. When I was a youngster, Mamaw Ruby opened "Ruby's Cafe" on Edison Avenue - around the corner from Garry's Drive In. That is where I spent the majority of my childhood. She was famous for fried chicken and "Tall Pies".
In 2002, I married the most beautiful girl in the world. She's a real looker!
- City in Saline County of particular interest & why (ex: _____ because I live/work/have family/friends there.)
- My family and I have lived in Benton our entire lives. With the exception of short stays in Denver, CO and Dayton, OH while my dad trained with NCR (National Cash Register).
Currently, I serve the citizens of Benton on the City Council as an alderman for Ward 4, Position 1. Also, I was elected by my fellow aldermen to serve on the Benton Advertising and Promotion Commission.
- What would you like to share with other members of this site?
- We are at a critical time in the history of Benton and Saline County. Critical decisions have been made and are being considered as we speak. I am proud to say that most folks that are involved are working very hard to get those decisions "right".
I encourage you to get more involved in your local government and make yourself available for service. Your local elected officials need to hear from you!
These are exciting times. The winds of change are blowing in a positive direction. God has placed us in this exact time in history to capture that wind in an effort to make a positive impact for our community(s) for generations to come. There are exciting opportunities bubbling beneath the surface for Benton, Bryant and Saline County.
I hope to use this venue as an outlet to share information that affects our daily lives and quality of life. Also, please feel free to contact me to share your excitement and concerns.

Update on Hwy 5 from Salem Road to Springhill Road (Kenneth Ray)
During the Benton City Council meeting last night (July 26), I asked Mayor Holland what it would take to work with Metroplan to move forward with plans to upgrade Hwy 5 to Springhill Road (Benton's portion). My question was sparked by Mayor Holland's announcement that Metroplan had began their study of Hwy 5 to Hot Springs Village.
Mayor Holland said Hwy 5 north toward Bryant was very much on the radar screen and that he and Mayor Mitchell of Bryant (both are Metroplan board me

Dear Saline County ("Central Arkansas Fairplex")
Dear Citizens:
I am writing to introduce you to the proposed Central Arkansas Fairplex to be located at Watts Field (old Saline County Airport) off Interstate 30 at Exit 116.

I drive an extended, 4-wheel drive Trailblazer that gets 14-15 MPG. So, I buy American but have great dependence on foreign oil! Can't wait to get me something that gets better mileage, but need the room for the kids right now!

Keep writing and telling your story. I am hooked. As a student of history, a person whose family members and friends fought in Viet Nam, I appreciate your telling of the real story.
It is to bad that the Parties that you speak of do not have the same values that they did during that time frame... So many people are do things for there own benefit instead of thinking of what the people think, money has corrupted so many great ca…

William, I added some tags, in case you were wondering where those came from.
Who owns this company?
Did you have a contract?
I would write them out a statement for your time having to deal with this mess .... just slide it under the door. lol.
Yeah, I totally forgot to post stuff all over my website and my Facebook! Darn! I better go... oh wait, no I did do that. Your reminder must have worked retroactively. It's late and I'm done debating. But you guys are awesome for putting the questio…
Thanks, William, for sharing that. It's true about the "entrance to central Arkansas."
Maybe we should all get out and just make sure the people know what day this election is. Thats the big issue here as ive not seen one sign FOR the fairplex yet. Is the on purpose like the past special election for the Bryant school mills raise? We…

A tax for a
'fairplex'? There's already way too much of my money being wasted! If we
could get back just 10% of what the State of Arkansas WASTES on BS for
CFO's, CEO's and Directors for Divisions of DHS, we could build a
'fairplex'…
1) The city of Benton paid more than $1 Million for the Fairplex study and before they even had the study was buying up property in front of the proposed site. This started as a Benton City Project but once the Study was complete it became a "County…
To those who say it'll cost too much to attend events there - lets not overlook the community facilities - like the walking trails, dog park, & community centers that will cater events by and for the people of Benton. This is not a ticketmaster sort…
I would absolutely love to see Saline County get this Fairplex and it just be chock full of fun and exciting events!!! I have every intention (at this time) of voting FOR it.
That being said, I have to reply to what I perceive as normal curiosity a…
I'm just about to give up on this thread, so I think I'll give my last word and be done. Some people are well off in this town, Some are comfortable and some are down right struggling and couldn't afford to go to an event at the Fairplex if it was a…
