Housing extensions, pickleball changes, a micro school, EV charging, new lots, drainage questions, zoning cleanup, and a more open Planning Commission process

Some Planning Commission meetings are about one big project.

This one was about a lot of different pieces of Centerton growing at once.

A large residential project received another extension because of sewer capacity.
The pickleball court project adjusted its path forward.
A small micro school was approved on Centerton Boulevard.
Walmart brought back EV charging plans.
Featherston West Phase 2 moved forward with 95 buildable lots.
Harbor Manor brought a long discussion about roads, sidewalks, drainage, and future connectivity.
The Schedule of Uses amendment finally moved forward after months of work.
And Mayor Edwards walked through proposed Planning Commission process changes, including open applications, interviews, and training requirements.

It showed exactly how growth happens in real life: one extension, one plat, one drainage discussion, one code change, and one public process update at a time.

As someone who follows these meetings closely for both my real estate clients and my campaign for City Council, this is the kind of meeting I think residents should pay attention to.

Because the details that sound technical today often become the roads, neighborhoods, sidewalks, traffic patterns, and property value conversations we live with tomorrow.

Here’s what happened.

Approval of Minutes

The Commission approved the June 2, 2026 meeting minutes.

No opposition.

Administrative Approvals

The Commission ratified five administrative approvals.

Touch of Wellness LLC

1550 North Lexington Place

Zoned R2 in Lexington Place Subdivision

Cookie & Coil Baking Co.

1921 Finnegan Street
Cottage bakery
Zoned R3 Single Family in Edgewood Estates

Fuqua Tract Split

Zoned A1
39.66 acres total
Tract 1: 39.4 acres
Tract 2: 0.25 acres

All five were approved as administrative items.

What this means for residential real estate

The home occupation approvals are a reminder that Centerton residents are using their homes in more flexible ways.

A cottage bakery, bookkeeping service, office use, or wellness service may not seem like a major planning item, but it reflects how people actually live and work now.

For buyers, flexible space matters.

A home office, extra storage, functional kitchen, garage space, or quiet room can add real value when people are working from home or running small businesses.

The key is neighborhood impact.

Home based work can fit well in residential areas when it does not create parking issues, traffic, noise, signage problems, or other disruptions.

Old Business

Flyway Crossings at Centerton

447 Kimmel Road
Zoned R3 Multifamily
18.5 acres
Approximately 170 dwelling units
PUD22-05

The first major item was Flyway Crossings at Centerton.

This was a request for another one year extension of preliminary plans and adjacent street agreement approval.

The project had previously been approved as a planned unit development and includes a mix of single family detached and attached residential units.

The development plan received preliminary approval in July 2024, followed by an extension last year.

Staff explained that all comments have been addressed, but the project still cannot begin construction because of sanitary sewer capacity limitations.

That was the reason for the extension request.

Outcome

The one year extension was approved.

No opposition.

What this means for residential real estate

This is another sewer timing item.

The project is ready enough on paper to need its approval kept alive, but it cannot start construction yet because the infrastructure is not ready.

That matters because sewer capacity continues to affect:

• Housing supply
• Builder timelines
• Rental availability
• New construction inventory
• Future pricing pressure
• How quickly approved projects become real homes

This is the part of real estate most buyers and sellers never see.

A project can be approved, discussed, and designed long before it ever creates a listing, rental unit, or roofline.

That is why I keep tracking these meetings.

New Business

Centerton Pickleball Courts Amendment

North Main Street and North Lexington Place
Zoned C3
5 acres

The first public hearing was for the Centerton Pickleball Courts project.

This item was originally expected to include an amendment to the conditional use permit, a parking reduction request, and a landscape waiver.

But after discussions with staff, the applicant withdrew the parking and landscape waiver requests.

The remaining request was much narrower.

The applicant asked to revise a previous condition that would have required a PUD for future buildings or a redesign of the site.

Staff explained that when the conditional use was first approved in March 2025, the city’s subdivision and development code was not fully established in the same way. Now that the new subdivision and development code is in place, staff recommended removing the PUD requirement and allowing future changes to come through the large scale development process instead.

The original conditional use approvals for indoor and outdoor recreation and on premises alcohol consumption remain in place.

The existing conditions still apply.

Public Comment

Chris Mooney spoke during public comment.

He said he originally came prepared to speak against the additional building and parking request because he had concerns about long term viability of pickleball facilities and what could happen to the site later.

After hearing that the amendment and waiver requests had been withdrawn, he thanked staff for sticking to the city code.

Outcome

The revision was approved.

No opposition.

What this means for nearby homeowners

This was a good example of staff review doing its job.

The original broader request changed after staff and the applicant worked through the code.

For nearby homeowners, the biggest takeaway is that the original conditional use is still there, but future expansion or redesign will still need to come back through a development review process.

This also shows why site planning matters.

Recreation uses, parking, alcohol service, surrounding homes, future buildings, and landscaping all need to fit together.

Approving a use is one step.

Making the site function well long term is another.

Storybook Schoolhouse

566 East Centerton Boulevard
Lake View Plaza
Zoned C2
Approximately 1,000 square foot unit

The next public hearing was for Storybook Schoolhouse.

The applicant, Sarah Rice, requested conditional use approval to operate a small educational facility inside Lake View Plaza, located behind Moe’s and Wendy’s on Centerton Boulevard.

She described it as a micro school with:

• Up to 8 students
• 1 teacher
• Students ages 5 to 8
• Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday schedule
• 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM hours

No site or structural changes were proposed.

The interior changes would include light fixtures, shelving, and furniture for classroom use.

Staff Report

Staff explained that educational facility use is conditional in C2 Highway Commercial zoning.

Parking was reviewed because the unit was originally allocated about five parking spaces in the shared plaza design.

Because this is a short drop off and pick up situation, staff did not have concerns about the shared parking lot being overwhelmed.

The expectation is that families will drop off students briefly rather than park for long periods.

Public Works noted that cars need to park in spaces and should not be left unattended in a drive aisle.

Staff recommended an indefinite approval period, with the use needing reapproval if discontinued for one year.

Public Comment

No one spoke during the public hearing.

Outcome

Storybook Schoolhouse was approved unanimously.

What this means for residential real estate

This is a small approval, but I think it says something about the kind of community Centerton is becoming.

As more families move here, we need more than homes.

We need services.
Schools.
Child focused options.
Small businesses.
Flexible learning environments.
Places that make daily life easier for families.

For buyers, especially young families, these types of uses can add to the appeal of a city.

For the commercial corridor, it also shows how smaller spaces can serve community needs without requiring a huge new development.

Walmart Neighborhood Market EV Charging Stations

1800 East Centerton Boulevard
Zoned C2
7.3 acres

The next item was a minor site improvement for Walmart Neighborhood Market #6953.

John Sessoms and Devin Murphy recused themselves from this item.

The applicant, represented by Alex Park with Kimley Horn and Associates, proposed installing four EV chargers that would serve eight EV charging stalls at the existing Walmart site.

The goal is to make EV charging more accessible in the community.

Why This Came Back

Staff explained that this project had been seen before, but Walmart changed the location of the EV charging stations after the prior approval.

The earlier location was farther out in the parking area. The new plan moves the charging stations more centrally into the parking lot.

The project affects existing parking spaces and cart corral areas in order to create the charging area and pedestrian access.

Staff also noted that shrubs are proposed to buffer the view of above ground utility connection points.

Construction Access Concern

The biggest discussion was not about EV charging itself.

It was about construction safety and circulation.

The demolition plan showed pavement removal beginning near the primary entrance and extending through the interior parking lot toward the proposed charging location.

Staff wanted a site circulation or traffic control plan showing:

• Where fencing would go
• How traffic would move during construction
• How pedestrians would safely get from parking stalls to the building
• Whether construction would happen in phases
• When certain areas would reopen

The applicant said the general contractor plans to prepare a traffic control plan before the pre construction meeting.

They are also looking at boring options for conduit so they may not need to cut through as much of the drive aisle.

Outcome

The EV charging station project was approved with a condition that a traffic control plan must be submitted and approved before pre construction.

No opposition.

What this means for residents

EV charging is a sign of where everyday infrastructure is heading.

But this discussion was really about how improvements happen safely in a busy commercial parking lot.

For homeowners and buyers, nearby charging options can be a convenience.

For the city, the bigger issue is making sure construction does not create unsafe traffic or pedestrian conditions while the project is being installed.

Featherston West Phase 2 Final Plat and Bonds

Kimmel Road, Daisy Road, and Womack Road
Zoned R3 Single Family
12.99 acres
95 buildable lots
2 unbuildable lots
95 dwelling units

The next item was the final plat and bonds for Featherston West Phase 2.

This phase includes 95 buildable single family lots and two unbuildable lots.

Staff said the site has passed final inspection.

The covenants were approved and recorded with Phase 1.

The property is not located in a designated floodplain, and there are no wetlands on site.

The street, drainage, water, and sewer bond amounts have been approved, and staff said the draft bonds had also been approved by the day of the meeting.

Bonds and Improvements

The warranty bonds include:

• Streets and drainage at 50 percent for two years
• Water and sewer at 50 percent for one year

There was also a performance bond accepted with Phase 1 that included some work tied to green space, trails, landscaping, fencing, and detention pond improvements.

Staff explained that the green space improvements in Tract C2 are complete, including:

• Park improvements
• Trails
• Landscaping

That part of the bond is recommended for release.

However, some items are still being held.

Those include:

• Fencing and landscaping on the west side of the detention pond in Tract C4, to be completed with Phase 3
• Internal five foot trails between lots, to be built with home construction

Staff said improvements for Daisy, Womack, and Kimmel are complete, except for a small portion of Daisy south of the second entrance that will be finished with Phase 3.

The final plat, record drawings, drainage report, and compaction tests were all approved by city departments with no outstanding comments.

The well abatement was handled with Phase 1.

Commissioners also discussed the internal trails, pavilions, dog park, playground, and common spaces.

Outcome

Featherston West Phase 2 final plat, warranty bonds, and performance bonds were approved.

No opposition.

What this means for residential real estate

This is 95 more single family lots moving forward.

That matters.

Centerton’s market depends heavily on new construction, and every final plat helps shape future inventory.

For buyers, this can eventually mean more options.

For nearby homeowners, it means more buildout, more neighbors, and more activity in that part of town.

The amenities matter too.

Trails, common spaces, pavilions, a dog park, and playground areas all shape how a neighborhood feels once people actually live there.

As a Realtor, I always tell people that a subdivision is more than the floor plan.

It is the streets, the drainage, the trails, the amenities, the covenants, and the little details buyers inherit after closing.

Harbor Manor

11897 Holloway Road
Zoned R3 Single Family
19.9 acres
Approximately 60 single family lots

The next item was Harbor Manor.

The agenda listed 61 single family buildable lots, while the meeting discussion described the project as a 60 lot subdivision with additional unbuildable tracts and a lift station lot.

The applicant, represented by Crafton Tull, explained that a similar preliminary plan had been approved in 2022, but sewer redesigns required the project to go back through the submittal process.

Staff Report

The property is located along Holloway Road.

Surrounding uses include agricultural and residential land to the north, undeveloped land and Anakah Estates to the south, and undeveloped or agricultural land to the east.

The proposal includes:

• Single family lots
• One unbuildable pond tract
• One unbuildable drainage tract
• A lift station lot
• Density of about 3.1 units per acre

Centerton water is available along Holloway Road.

Sanitary sewer will be available through a lift station constructed by the developer, with a four inch force main tying into existing sewer offsite to the west.

Flood, Wetlands, and Drainage

Staff said the property is outside the 100 year floodplain.

A waters of the United States delineation identified three ponds and four linear water features on the property.

A nationwide permit was issued in October 2022 for six crossings of an unnamed tributary, including temporary trenching and backfill activities.

The impacts are less than 0.03 acres per crossing, no mitigation is required, and species protection measures are included as permit conditions.

The drainage plan includes a retention pond with:

• 8 foot normal pool depth
• 5.8 additional feet of storage capacity
• Three 42 inch pipes as the discharge structure
• A 40 foot overflow
• A drainage channel between lots 12 and 13 through Tract B
• A 48 inch wrought iron fence around the pond

Road Improvements

This was the biggest part of the discussion.

The development will construct full street improvements to Optic Road, which is a major collector with an 80 foot right of way.

That is being done in lieu of half street improvements to Holloway Road, which is a minor arterial with a 90 foot right of way and is expected to be improved by the city later.

For Optic Road, the plan includes a modified street section with:

• Approximately 1,281 feet of street section
• Width ranging from 27 feet to 37 feet
• Curb and gutter
• Six foot sidewalk on the west side
• Ten foot sidewalk on the east side
• Green space
• Street trees

For Holloway Road, the developer will dedicate 45 feet of right of way and construct a 10 foot sidewalk.

Half street improvements to Holloway are not required because the developer is building all of Optic Road.

Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Discussion

Commissioner Ben Lewis raised a broader concern about consistency.

His point was not only about this project.

It was about what residents see around town: curb and gutter in one place, no curb and gutter in another, sidewalk here, no sidewalk there.

That concern matters because inconsistent infrastructure is something residents feel every day.

Staff and the applicant explained why this project was structured the way it was.

The short version:

Building curb and gutter along this specific stretch of Holloway would create constructability and drainage challenges because nearby sections are not improved the same way yet.

The tradeoff is that the developer is building the full section of Optic Road now, including sidewalk and street trees.

Commissioners discussed the difference between what would be ideal long term and what makes sense for this specific development.

That is a real growth challenge.

Centerton is still trying to connect older rural road patterns with new subdivision standards.

Public Comment and Drainage Concerns

Julie Davies spoke as a trustee of the trust that owns the parcel directly east of the project.

Her concerns focused on drainage and future access.

She noted that the staff report or applicant materials referenced drainage going west, but the drainage actually flows east.

Staff and the engineer clarified that the drainage does flow east and that any reference to west was a mistake that should be corrected.

She also asked whether the dry swale on her property would begin carrying water and whether that could affect access to a back triangular portion of the property.

City Engineer Alan Craighead said the swale is the natural low area and that water would use that area during rain events.

The engineer for the project explained that the development is required not to increase peak flow rates or create negative impacts on downstream property owners.

Staff also said they would work with the developer to make sure access is not lost.

Connectivity Discussion

Julie Davies also asked about a road stub that dead ends toward the east property and whether it could become an attractive nuisance.

Staff explained that the city now requires connectivity points on property lines so future development can connect internally instead of forcing every trip onto major roads.

That kind of connection may not matter today, but it could matter 10, 20, or 50 years from now.

The idea is to keep future neighborhoods from becoming isolated pockets that all depend on the same few intersections.

Outcome

Harbor Manor preliminary plat, plans, and adjacent street agreement were approved, contingent on resolution of outstanding city comments.

No opposition.

What this means for residential real estate

This was one of the most important discussions of the night.

Harbor Manor is not just 60 or so future homes.

It is a road connection conversation.
A drainage conversation.
A sidewalk conversation.
A future access conversation.
A utility conversation.
A neighborhood compatibility conversation.

For buyers, these details matter because they affect how a subdivision functions after the newness wears off.

For nearby landowners, they matter because drainage and road stubs can affect future development options.

For the city, they matter because every new subdivision either helps build a connected network or creates another disconnected pocket.

This is also why I keep saying that real estate and city planning are deeply connected.

Where roads go, where sidewalks continue, where drainage flows, and where future access is preserved all affect property value and daily life.

Title 14 Schedule of Uses Amendment

The final public hearing was for the Title 14 Schedule of Uses amendment for agricultural, commercial, and industrial uses.

This has been a long running project.

The Schedule of Uses determines what is permitted, conditional, or not allowed in different zoning districts.

That may not sound exciting, but it is one of the most important tools a city has for managing compatibility.

Assembly Use and Parking

Staff explained one new highlighted section.

The city had run into issues where a commercial space changed from a retail type use to an assembly type use.

The building may stay the same size, but the occupancy and parking demand can change dramatically.

For example, a retail space may have people coming and going throughout the day.

An assembly use may have many more people there at the same time.

Staff explained that the city needed a way to reevaluate sites when a change of occupancy moves from non assembly to assembly use, especially when parking demand changes.

This was added to help prevent buildings from quietly changing into uses that the site cannot support.

Why this matters for residents

Parking is not just a business issue.

When a commercial site does not have enough parking, the overflow often shows up in neighboring lots, streets, and nearby residential areas.

This language gives the city a better way to review that before the problem is created.

Home Occupations and Outdoor Sales

The Commission also discussed a question that came up that day about a home occupation business wanting to place a small stand outside to sell baked goods.

This turned into a broader discussion about what still counts as a home occupation.

Staff and commissioners discussed that a home occupation is meant to stay within the home and not change the character of the residence.

Current home occupation limits include things like:

• Business activity contained inside the home
• No outside merchandise display
• Limited customer activity
• Minimal neighborhood impact

The concern was that once merchandise is placed outside, customer traffic and neighborhood impact become harder to control.

The discussion also touched on the difference between a small temporary farm stand and a regular retail style business.

Cindy Zenstein spoke during public comment and noted that state cottage food laws apply to homemade goods, but the city still controls inside versus outside activity through local ordinances.

The overall direction seemed to be that outdoor sales would likely need a different process than a standard home occupation.

Why this matters for homeowners

This is exactly the kind of small detail that affects neighborhood feel.

A cottage bakery operating quietly from a home may be one thing.

A regular outdoor sales stand with customer traffic may be another.

The city has to balance supporting small businesses with protecting residential neighborhoods from unintended impacts.

As both a Realtor and a candidate, I think that balance matters.

We can be pro small business and still thoughtful about parking, traffic, appearance, and neighbors.

Emergency Services in the Schedule of Uses

Emergency services also came up.

Staff asked the Commission to reconsider how police and fire facilities are treated in the Schedule of Uses.

The discussion focused on whether emergency services should be permitted, rather than conditional, in commercial, industrial, and agricultural zones.

The reasoning was practical.

Fire stations and police facilities need access to major roads and need to be placed where response times make sense.

Staff pointed out that site requirements would still be reviewed through development plans.

The Commission agreed to allow emergency services as permitted uses in commercial, industrial, and agricultural zoning.

Residential zones would still require conditional use review.

Public Comment

Cliff Thompson spoke during public comment and supported opening emergency service placement more broadly.

He explained that when cities map fire stations or police stations, response times matter.

If a city can only place a station in whatever land happens to be available, it can end up near the edge of the city and lose part of its response coverage to another jurisdiction.

He also noted that emergency service buildings can be designed to fit the surrounding area.

Commissioners explained that the reason residential zones would remain conditional is not because emergency services are unwanted.

It is because if a fire station or police station is proposed inside a residential area, nearby residents should have a chance to know about it and give input.

Outcome

The Schedule of Uses amendment was approved with the changes discussed.

No opposition.

What this means for residential real estate

This is big code work.

It affects what can go near homes, what requires a public hearing, and what the city can review before a site becomes a problem.

The assembly use parking language matters for commercial centers.

The home occupation discussion matters for neighborhood character.

The emergency services discussion matters for response times and public safety.

All of it affects how Centerton grows.

This is the quiet rulebook behind future development.

Other Business

Proposed Ordinance 2026-21

Planning Commission Applications, Interviews, and Training

Mayor Edwards presented Proposed Ordinance 2026-21, which would amend Chapter 13.04 related to the Planning Commission.

This came out of recent discussions around Planning Commission bylaws, appointments, applications, and training.

The proposed ordinance would put some of those process changes directly into city code.

Open Applications

The mayor explained that 60 days before a Planning Commissioner’s term expires, or within 30 days of a resignation, the city would advertise the vacancy and accept applications from interested residents.

Current commissioners could reapply too.

Mayor Edwards said the city had already started doing this.

He said the three commissioners whose terms were set to expire had their terms extended into August while the application process plays out.

He also said the opening was posted around town, in the newspaper, on the website, on Facebook, and through the MyCenterton app.

13 Applications Received

The mayor said the city received 13 applications.

That included the three current commissioners whose terms were up, plus 10 additional applicants.

He said he had spoken with Jeff Seyfarth and recommended interviewing all 13 because they all looked like strong candidates.

The goal is to complete interviews over the next few weeks and bring a recommendation to City Council in August.

Interview Process

The proposed process includes review by:

• The mayor
• The Planning Commission chair
• The Planning Director

There was also discussion about adding language that would allow the mayor to designate someone else if there is a conflict of interest, such as if a neighbor, family member, or spouse applied.

That change seemed generally supported.

After interviews, the mayor would bring a recommendation to City Council, and Council would have the final say.

Training Requirement

The proposed ordinance would also add a four hour annual training requirement for Planning Commissioners.

The mayor said the city would pay for approved training.

Options discussed included:

• Online training
• Municipal League training resources
• Certified Arkansas Planning Official courses
• Training through regional planning
• Possible local training during canceled or slow meeting nights

Commissioners discussed that evening training would be helpful because most commissioners have day jobs.

Staff also noted that if the city sets up training, attendance matters.

Why this matters for residents

This is a major process improvement.

Planning Commission decisions shape rezones, plats, development plans, connectivity, waivers, conditional uses, and code.

Having open applications, clear interviews, City Council confirmation, and required training makes the process stronger.

This is where my campaign and my community work overlap directly.

I believe residents deserve a city government that is accessible, prepared, and transparent.

Opening the application process is part of that.

Training commissioners is part of that.

Making sure people who care deeply about Centerton have a real opportunity to serve is part of that.

Expertise matters, but willingness to learn matters too.

And passion for this city matters a lot.

Community Center Groundbreaking and MyCenterton App

Mayor Edwards also mentioned that the community center groundbreaking is scheduled for Monday, July 13 at 11:30 AM.

He also encouraged people to use the MyCenterton app for city news, road closures, meeting agendas, and alerts.

Other Commissions

A commissioner asked whether similar process changes might eventually apply to other appointed commissions.

Mayor Edwards said he believes that conversation will come up.

That matters because Planning Commission is not the only appointed body shaping city decisions.

Training and Upcoming Downtown Study

The Commission also discussed upcoming APAC training courses listed on the agenda.

Staff said they can help commissioners get signed up and also discussed other potential training resources.

The downtown study also came up.

Staff said they are looking at a possible special meeting in late August for a presentation to Planning Commission, City Council, and the public.

The hope is that, depending on feedback, the downtown study could be ready for Council consideration in September.

That will be one to watch closely.

Announcements

The next City Council meeting is scheduled for July 14, 2026.

The next Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for July 21, 2026.

The next Tech Review meeting is listed for July 16, 2026, by Zoom.

APAC Course 4, Subdivisions, is scheduled for August 5, 2026, from 9 AM to 12 PM virtually.

APAC Course 5, Development Review and Variances, is scheduled for September 9, 2026, from 9 AM to 12 PM virtually.

My Takeaways for Centerton Homeowners

This meeting had several big residential takeaways.

1. Sewer capacity is still shaping housing timelines

Flyway Crossings needed another extension because sewer capacity is still holding construction back.

This is one of the biggest behind the scenes issues affecting future housing supply in Centerton.

2. New lots are still moving forward

Featherston West Phase 2 moved forward with 95 buildable lots.

That is meaningful for future new construction inventory.

3. Harbor Manor showed why development details matter

The Harbor Manor discussion touched roads, sidewalks, curb and gutter, drainage, utility access, future connectivity, and adjacent property concerns.

That is exactly why planning meetings matter.

Those details become the daily experience of living in a neighborhood.

4. Commercial uses need to fit their sites

The Schedule of Uses amendment added review when a commercial space changes into an assembly use and parking demand changes.

That protects nearby businesses, customers, and neighborhoods from parking problems after the fact.

5. Home based business rules are worth watching

Centerton is seeing more home occupations and cottage businesses.

The city will need to balance small business opportunity with neighborhood protection.

6. Emergency service placement affects response times

Allowing emergency services in more non residential zoning districts can help the city place police and fire facilities where they actually serve residents best.

Keeping residential areas conditional preserves public notice and neighborhood input.

7. Planning Commission process is becoming more open

The proposed ordinance around applications, interviews, and training is a big step.

Centerton received 13 applications for three seats.

That tells me people want to serve.

And that is a good thing.

What This Means for Residential Real Estate

Residential real estate is not just listings, prices, and square footage.

It is also:

• Sewer capacity
• Subdivision approvals
• Final plats
• Drainage design
• Street connections
• Sidewalk placement
• Commercial parking
• Emergency response planning
• Home occupation rules
• Public process
• Who gets appointed to help review development

All of these pieces affect buyer demand, future inventory, neighborhood feel, traffic, safety, and long term property value.

This meeting was a reminder that Centerton’s future is being built in details.

That is why I keep showing up.

As The Blue Haired Broker, I want my clients to understand what is happening around their homes before it shows up in a listing description or sales price.

As a candidate for City Council, I want residents to know these decisions are not abstract.

They shape the city our families are going to live in.

And as a Centerton resident, I care deeply about making sure growth is handled with thought, transparency, and a real understanding of how these choices affect everyday life.

Let’s Talk Strategy

If you are thinking about buying or selling in Centerton, or if you want to understand how nearby development, zoning, drainage, roads, or city decisions could affect your home’s value or future plans, let’s talk.

I follow the details so you do not have to.
