Committee approves annexation bill to clear way for Sultana Museum construction in West Memphis
Summary
Senator Dan Sullivan's bill to annex a street adjacent to the Sultana Museum in West Memphis, enabling planned construction, was approved by the committee by voice vote with the city's support.
Senator Dan Sullivan told the committee House Bill 17 77 is specific to West Memphis and the Sultana Museum, which is preparing for construction. Sullivan said the bill would annex a street next to the museum and that local officials support the annexation to allow construction to begin: "they're getting ready to start construction over there."
No questions were raised in committee and no one registered to speak for or against the bill. Sullivan closed and moved a do-pass motion; the committee approved the bill by voice vote and the chair announced passage.
The bill will proceed through the legislature as scheduled.
