Anthony Taylor recently spoke at Rotary Club of Oaklawn meeting

Local architect Anthony Taylor recently made a presentation to members of the Oaklawn Rotary Club about the Downtown Hot Springs Initiative, a group of interested local individuals that formed 30 months ago and has met weekly since its inception.  The group’s mission is to strengthen, enhance and invigorate Hot Springs’ downtown business, community and culture.  He shared the group’s identification of the downtown area as one with enlarged boundaries, and that only 2% of that area is currently used for hotels.  He showed pictures of different downtown buildings and their potential, with reasonable amounts of investment, for revitalizing downtown Hot Springs. He discussed the dissolution of the Central Business Improvement District #2.

Oaklawn Rotary meets each Monday at noon at the Austin Hotel.
