• Developers eye Prairie Grove for new rental community, but density ‘a major factor' (shawlocal.com) — Prairie Grove officials are weighing a proposal for 187 single-story rental apartments on 38 acres along Edgewood Road, a project that could significantly reshape traffic, density, and nearby neighborhoods. Residents and a planning commissioner have raised concerns about wildlife, property values, and quality of life, especially as another 230-unit Walnut Hollow development east of Route 31 is already approved.
