Last night, the Bentonville City Council gave the okay for the new Northwest Arkansas Armed Forces Reserve Center near Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (XNA).
Construction on the $23 million, 100,000-plus square foot facility should begin within the next six months, and is slated for completion within the next year and a half. The Center will be part of the 20-acre, city-owned Bentonville Industrial Park near XNA.
The Northwest Arkansas Armed Forces Reserve Center will be home base to at least six Arkansas Army National Guard and Army Reserves units. The building will offer temporary housing and will also store necessary equipment. The consolidation of the units is expected to reduce overall costs. Armory buildings that are vacated, like the Bentonville Armory, will be dedicated as city government property and many will be used as community centers. The Bentonville Army National Guard armory will be deeded to the city to make way for an expansion of 8th Street. There will be additional lanes added from Walton Blvd to the I-540 interstate.
This is good news for Northwest Arkansas growth. Are you interested in properties in Northwest Arkansas? Check out northwestarkansasland.net to view properties for sale near XNA!
