🏗️ Rezoning, Subdivisions, and Bonds Mark a Turning Point for Bentonville Growth
Bentonville’s development machine is in high gear—and this week’s City Council meeting put it on full display.
Councilmembers approved an ordinance to issue new sales and use tax bonds, providing capital for future infrastructure and development without requiring a current budget adjustment. Though exact project lists were not disclosed, officials indicated the funds would target long-term improvements.
The Planning Commission also brought forward 11 land use ordinances, including:
Final plat approval for Walmart Campus Subdivision Phase 14.
Rezoning approvals for multiple parcels downtown, including conversions to DN-2 and DN-4 density classifications.
Additional lot splits and easement dedications across subdivisions like Dickson’s Addition, Green Acres, and Happy Homes.
Each vote inches Bentonville closer to its next chapter—one defined by mixed-use development, higher density housing, and strategic land repositioning. As these changes unfold, infrastructure and service planning will be key to keeping pace.
With long-range planning and bond-funded capital improvements now in motion, the city is poised to meet its booming growth with infrastructure to match.
