As the 150 Anniversary of the Civil War Battles now behind us, all the hype and promises of tourist flocking to Helena - West - Helena is gone. Cathy Cunningham boasting since 2005 to the City Council, residents of Helena - West- Helena, Southern Bancorp, and the businesses did not see the rush of tourist as planned. Freedom Park with limited access needs weeding and care to clean up around the new tree planted and exhibits. Doug Friedlander President of the Chamber of Commerce who has been busy over the Phillips County Animal Shelter lack of funds versus providing new job and businesses to Phillips County. I find it odd that his wedding website was up and running but a website in which he is solely responsible for has been down since November, 2012.
The amount of funding being provided to Helena - West - Helena for this specific event is unbelievable. Funding for Court Square Park, Carriage Park, Fort Curtis, Freedom Park all projects to improve the quality of life in Phillips County. Court Sqaure Park was to be home the Farmers Market but only a very small outbuilding was built making the relocation of the Farmers Market two blocks down. Carriage Park with all the renovations is now up for sale or has been recently sold. Freedom Park was completed but needs attention in landscaping.
