Mr. John Troutt, Jr., member of the board of the Jonesboro Central Planning Association addressed Council regarding a study to help revitalize the older, centralized areas of Jonesboro. Mr. Troutt stated even though the central part of the city has several “top-notch” facilities, there is also deterioration, so the purpose for organizing the Jonesboro Central Planning Association was to find answers in providing an economically sound “central core” of Jonesboro. He stated the association had met with several different consultants and recommends the HyettPalma, Inc., who only contracts through the National League of Cities. Mr. Troutt explained to contract a five year redevelopment plan with HyettPalma, Inc. would take six months to a year, at a cost of $55,250.00.
