According to Arlington Public Works, the Forrest Street Park is running behind schedule due to weather and muddy conditions. The new projected finish date for it is August 1, 2015, weather permitting.
The Town of Arlington recently opened bids on an additional parking lot to be constructed on the west side of the Forrest Street property. This lot will add 36 parking spaces to the historical downtown area and new soccer fields.

Holly Swogger is a woman on a mission to help vets. Since 2008 she has been part of a group working tirelessly to build a Veterans Home in West Tennessee.
Currently, Swogger explains, the closest Veterans Home to the Memphis metro area is located 100 miles away in Humboldt, Tennessee. That means a Shelby, Tipton, or Fayette County vet living there would be over an hour and a half away from family and friends.
Plus, the numbers indicate that West Tennessee needs another facility, Swogger says. There are over 71,000 veterans living in the three-county area, and more could be eligible due to Tennessee ties.
