The City of Greenwood is revisiting its ordinances and planning regulations and passing those that progressive towns use. In the past few years, the City has passed animal control ordinances including a leash law and regulating dangerous pets, livestock in the city limits and nuisances.

The City has enacted regulations about yard sales to prevent those “permanent and ongoing yard sales” that tie up traffic, irritate neighbors and create problems for postal and emergency personnel.

The Mayor has successfully pursued grant funding for the Veterans Memorial in the Town Square and for the renovation of the grounds of the Greenwood courthouse in a collaborative effort with County Judge David Hudson. This will give downtown a new look and will paid for by those grants from the Arkansas Department of Rural Services totaling nearly $300,000.00. The Master Plan has been updated with the aid of a professional planner from the Arkansas Municipal League.
