The Texarkana Arkansas City Board of Directors meets this evening at 6PM at City Hall.

The board will consider and ordinance that would allow for private club application for Broadway Billiards among other agenda items. There will also be a closed executive session as well.

On another note, we already know who will be the new Mayor for the Arkansas side. Come January 1st, Allen Brown will become the new Mayor. The local businessman, longtime CEO and President of Mil-Way Federal Credit Union, drew no opposition in the race. The current Mayor Ruth Penney Bell changed her mind and decided not to run for re-election and no other candidates filed prior to the deadline last Friday.
