Property Highlights

The City of Conway acquired the property, which formerly operated as Conway Scrap Metal Yard, in 2014. The property was previously owned and operated by the Rosa M. West Revocable Trust & West Family beginning in 1977. Prior to this, the property was owned and operated since 1917 by the Hoyt family. The property is strategically located between the Hendrix College campus and the rapidly developing Downtown Conway area. The City of Conway intends to develop the property as part of the ongoing redevelopment of this part of the City. The corridor between Hendrix College and Downtown Conway, known as the Markham Street Corridor, has been awarded grant monies by a regional planning authority as a part of a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) initiative. The Conway Scrap Metal Yard was identified as the seed project for this redevelopment effort and will be redeveloped as a public green space, park area, or outdoor amphitheater. As such, no inhabited structures are planned for the project site. The City of Conway received an EPA Brownfields cleanup grant for the site and has been enrolled in the Arkansas DEQ Brownfield Program. The City of Conway received their Certificate of Completion on June 17, 2021 Construction has begun on the new Markham Square Park, and is anticipated to be complete in 2022.
