During discussion of Disciple Drive park, city leadership highlighted that Jonesboro effectively has only one working public pool and is far below recommended aquatic capacity. They expect any new pool to cost at least $4,000,000 and will need to decide in future budget cycles where to locate it and what projects will be deferred to fund it. They also noted significant maintenance decisions for the aging YMCA pool and the opening of The Ridge/First Community Bank Sportsplex next year. Aquatics designers, pool contractors, and financing/grant specialists can begin conversations on concepts, lifecycle costs, and funding strategies before a formal project is defined.
Pre-RFP
$4,000,000Jun 30, 2026Jonesboro approved an additional $136,000 in professional services for design and construction documents on a 17-acre park along Disciple Drive near NEA Hospital. The city has around $3.7 million available, including $1.6–$1.7 million in state grant funds, and is narrowing the program to what can be built within that budget. The main designer is in place, but this is a multi-phase park where future amenities, additional courts, trails, lighting, and site work may need later contracts or alternates, creating follow-on chances for park contractors and specialty vendors.
Contract Award
$3,700,000Jul 21, 2026Jonesboro selected Atlas Asphalt Inc. as low bidder for the 2026 asphalt milling and overlays on selected city streets, Job No. 2026:03. The committee recommended awarding a roughly $1,000,000 contract, with the next bid at about $2,996,329. This sets the incumbent for street resurfacing in 2026; vendors can watch for trucking, materials supply, striping, or future-year paving packages once this annual cycle nears completion.
Contract Award
$1,000,000Jul 7, 2026Jonesboro plans to contract with Crabtree & Son Construction for the Hwy. 91 sidewalk and lane reconfiguration project, Job No. 2026:10. Crabtree bid $1,337,163.25, under competing bids from White River Materials and Meadows Construction, for turn lane work and a side path from North Caraway to east of A-State property. This defines the prime for a sizable multimodal corridor upgrade; design, traffic engineering, and landscape or lighting vendors can pursue support or future phases along this corridor.
Contract Award
$1,337,163Jul 7, 2026The City of Jonesboro is authorizing up to 180,000,000 in taxable industrial development revenue bonds to finance InnovAsian/Nichirei Global Foods’ new industrial facility at 2905 Quality Way in Craighead Technology Park. The project includes acquiring roughly 60 acres, constructing a 175,000 square foot chicken and rice production plant, related warehouse/manufacturing space, infrastructure, and extensive processing, packaging, handling, storage, R&D, office, and support equipment. InnovAsian plans to break ground around August 2026, with the facility fully operational in early 2028 and about 200 new jobs at an average wage above 22 per hour. Bonds are conduit‐financed and repaid via a leaseback structure under a long-term PILOT with 65 percent ad valorem abatement for 30 years. The ordinance and draft trust indenture/lease show that major design, construction, process engineering, food safety systems, utilities, and site work are still to be executed, creating multiple opportunities for construction, engineering, industrial equipment, automation, cold storage, IT/OT, and facility services vendors to support InnovAsian and its lenders as they move from financing documents to procurement and buildout.
Pre-RFP
$180,000,000May 12, 2026The board approved the high school band addition construction project with a guaranteed maximum price of $2,311,002 after reviewing the site plan, design, and bid tabulations. C.R. Crawford and architect Jeff Steiling explained cost increases due to higher ceiling requirements to support Flag Line and Winter Guard use. This confirms a funded capital project where construction and fit-out vendors may find follow-on work for equipment, acoustics, AV, and furnishings as the facility is built out.
Contract Award
$2,311,002Jun 8, 2026The district reviewed revised schematics and a preliminary $1.9 million estimate for a new high school band addition. State approval is complete and the project will be advertised for bids on May 10 and May 17, with a bid summary and GMP presentation planned for the June board meeting. Construction and design vendors still have an active window to compete or support subs on this project.
Active Opportunity
$1,900,000May 4, 2026The board reviewed a $447,370 proposal from Stadium Pros via TIPS to install new baseball and softball press boxes and bleachers but noted exclusions for concrete pads, demolition, backstop/netting improvements, and chairback seats. The superintendent and athletic director were directed to gather cost estimates for these additional items for a future approval. This signals upcoming procurement for civil, demolition, and seating enhancements, where multiple vendors could bid or be sourced alongside the Stadium Pros contract vehicle.
Pre-RFP
$447,370Jun 8, 2026The City of Jonesboro is approving its FY2026-2027 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan, covering $717,683 in HUD funding for administration, public services, homeowner rehabs, homelessness, first-time homebuyer assistance, and a large public infrastructure allocation. The plan designates $332,344.16 specifically for public infrastructure plus nearly $100,000 for low- and moderate-income homeowner rehabs, signaling upcoming design, construction, and professional service needs in target neighborhoods. The resolution authorizes the Grants and Community Development Department and the Mayor to submit all required HUD documents and execute agreements and contracts for the 2026-2027 CDBG program. This means multiple individual projects (sidewalks, drainage, street improvements, housing rehab, small facilities) will move from planning into procurement over the program year, creating opportunities for engineering, construction, housing rehab contractors, inspectors, and grant-compliance support. Vendors should position around CDBG-eligible infrastructure and housing work in low- and moderate-income areas and be ready to meet federal requirements (Davis-Bacon, Section 3, etc.).
Grant Funding
$717,683Jun 16, 2026The city selected Pickering Firm, Inc. to provide $374,157.81 in construction engineering and inspection services for the S Caraway Road widening from Parker Road to Fox Meadow Lane. Funding comes from Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds and covers a 549‑day construction period with substantial inspection staffing. While the CE&I contract is decided, roadway, materials, traffic control, and utility vendors can track this corridor project for construction bids, change orders, and related work on Caraway Road.
