The Arkansas Colleges of Health Education received a recommendation by the Fort Chaffee Real Estate Review Committee on Thursday for about 70 acres of land that had been previously donated to Fort Smith Public Schools.
In addition to offering a higher bid, ACHE President Kyle Parker also crafted a proposal for the land around continued creation of jobs that is greater than just construction jobs and development of an additional health care training facility that would benefit the wider community. A publicly accessible events facility would also be built on the land, Parker said.
