Little Rock urban planner Jim von Tungeln spoke highly of El Dorado during a recent interview with a state public radio station in Northwest Arkansas. Von Tungeln, who has advised El Dorado in the past, is currently offiering advice to Springdale leaders, who are taking steps to make their own downtown area more pleasing.
Said von Tungeln:
“There are very vibrant cities, downtowns, in Arkansas where the city has not spent a penny. I’m thinking particularly of El Dorado, probably the nicest downtown in the state by most agreement, and it was all done with private money.”
As you well know, El Dorado’s power couple, Richard and Vertis Mason, spearheaded the effort to revitalize our downtown in the 1980s.
