The Arkansas Department of Rural Services awarded a grant to Greenwood and Sebastian County for renovation of the exterior and grounds of the Sebastian County Courthouse grounds. The $140,000.00 grant was from legislation. County Judge David Hudson pursed the funding. Judge Hudson and the Mayor of Greenwood enlisted the help of Rusty Myers with the Western Arkansas Planning and Development District to do the paperwork. “This work will coordinate the grounds of the Courthouse with the beautiful work being done in Greenwood’s Memorial Square”, said Edwards. “Judge Hudson has been very gracious in allowing us to improve the Courthouse as we improve downtown as we have gotten these grants”, added Senator Ed Wilkinson.

Work will begin on the plans drawn by Michael Lejong with MAHG Architects. The grounds of the Courthouse will match the work in stone and plantings being done on the square. Our legislative delegation has been very supportive of this work and another $140,000.00 is being sought through this legislation. Grants make it happen”.
