Subject: I'm opposed to HDC2019-23 and re-zoning at 10th and Rock
Good evening,
I live in the historic Governor’s Mansion District of Little Rock. Within the past few years I’ve watched two new
apartment buildings come up just off of south Main, and we lost our Miracle Wash (which was utilized by our
community, myself included-and, the man who ran it also lived there, he lost his home in this deal, btw) a few years ago
to a large-scale property developer, the lot sat vacant for a couple of years and now it’s being developed into an
enormous, unnecessary (and ugly) condo/business building - these new structures destroy the historic integrity of our
communities, and there are numerous buildings which already exist which can be utilized as apartments and businesses,
as we’ve successfully seen here in SoMa/GMD.
Our neighbors in the MacArthur Park Historic District are now facing a similar threat with HDC2019-23. I oppose
potential re-zoning at 10th and Rock and I ask that local communities be valued above that of corporate developers’
financial interests. We live here. Please take care of us.
I live here for many reasons, one being that it’s not one of the countless new developments in Chenal or other parts of
WLR. Keep WLR where it is and let us keep our historic beauty, character, and integrity here - we cannot reclaim it once
it’s gone, and only you can protect us and our neighbors.
Sincerely,
Amber Estrada
