Springdale to Vote on Eminent Domain to Complete Trail

“Springdale is trying to move forward with the Razorback Greenway Trail project but first, they may need permission from landowners.

The city council will meet Tuesday evening (July 9) to vote on eminent domain on 16 properties, meaning the city could build the trail without the landowners’ permission.

So far about 14 miles of the 36-mile trail has been completed. Eight miles of the trail will run through Springdale.

To build the Razorback Greenway Trail from Bella Vista trail to south Fayetteville, the cities must acquire 117 trail easements through private properties. Sixty-eight of those go through Springdale.”
