Summary

Faulkner County staff updated the committee on three road projects (Skunk Hollow/286, Hwy 25/Elliott stoplight, Wooster roundabout) and discussed ARP-funded planning for a Conway pipeline and a downstream treatment plant; officials said ARP funds must be used by year-end and timeline to construction could be many years.

Tom (first referenced by the chair) briefed the committee on three major county transportation projects and related water planning work. He said pre-construction on Skunk Hollow and 286 is complete and construction is expected to begin in May, though procurement for stoplight electronics may cause delays. A stoplight design at Highway 25 and Elliott Road will advance after public input indicated the signal is warranted. A Wooster roundabout is in planning with bidding and work expected in 2025.

During the same exchange, a justice asked about ARP-funded water projects with Conway Corp. Staff said ARP dollars are funding planning for a pipeline from Grist Ferry to east of Conway and engineering for a new water treatment facility that would receive water from that pipeline. Staff indicated the pipeline must be planned and the treatment plant engineered using ARP funds by the end of the year; construction timing is uncertain and could take years due to environmental reviews and funding steps.

The committee had no formal actions on the road items during this meeting.
