FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Fayetteville is soon to implement a new zoning district that is designed to account for the city’s future population growth while preserving nature after city council approval at its June 17 meeting. The Conservation, Cultural, and Recreation (CCR) zoning can, in theory, be applied to any square inch of the city’s 36,000 acres, Britin Bostick, Fayetteville’s long-range planning and special projects manager, said.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The Bentonville City Council voted 8-0 Tuesday to table a proposal that would change its trash collection services from Republic Services to CARDS Holdings at its next meeting on July 8. City staff recommended CARDS Holdings’ bid due to it being the lowest cost to the city and about a monthly decrease of $4.34 per household for customers. However, councilmembers pushed back against the company, raising concerns about the quality of collection services.

VAN BUREN, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The name “Billy Jack Lincks” garners a chilling reaction from many in the River Valley to this day. After being a person of interest for years, Lincks was named a suspect in Morgan Nick’s disappearance Oct. 1, 2024, nearly a quarter-century after dying at Tucker Unit in Central Arkansas in 2000 at the age of 75. Not much of his has withstood the test of time, except for his old home in Van Buren.
