California may have Silicon Valley, but we have Jimerson Valley. There's a new southern-focused start up business called Bourbon and Boots, and it's being run by folks right in Kingwood just a stone's throw from Jimerson Creek. They're running a pre-opening special. We wish them great success.
Kingwood Neighborhood Association dues are due. Dues are $12 per individual member.
You may mail them to:
KNA
224 Kngsrow Dr
Little Rock, AR 72207
If you prefer you can bring your dues to our next neighborhood meeting on Wednesday February 8 in the annex of the St. Paul United Methodist Church on Durwood Rd.
Membership amplifies your voice with city officials on every issue that affects our neighborhood from bus routes to trash pickup to multi-million dollar center turn lane projects. Our city officials make extra effort to ensure that neighborhood associations like KNA are included in processes and often make association acceptance of proposals a key factor in their approval. Your dues give you a stronger voice.
In addition to allowing you to shape neighborhood initiatives, your dues support our annual Kingwood Big Block Party, this web site, and expenses related to meetings. In addition, we are working toward a long term goal of establishing at least one permanent Kingwood neighborhood sign similar to those that welcome people into Leawood and Robinwood.
The Kingwood Neighborhood Association (KNA) is a group of residents who live in the Kingwood Addition in Little Rock, Arkansas and in portions of other additions adjacent to Kingwood. The association provides a way for neighbors to stay informed about city and neighborhood activities - a way for neighbors to connect.
We work together to amplify our voice on concerns such as city ordinances, zoning, street improvements, crime prevention, and volunteer opportunities. For example, we worked cooperatively with businesses along Cantrell Road (State Highway 10) to have the city agree to fund a center turn lane between Perryville Road (near KraftCo) and Mississippi.
The Kingwood area of Little Rock is a relatively large neighborhood and generally extends from The Heights to Mississippi Avenue and from Cantrell Road to Overlook. More precisely, the narrative description of the KNA boundaries is below:
Beginning at the corner of Cantrell and Keightly, the boundary goes north on Keightly (including Lefever Lane and Drew Lane) onto Indian Trail. It then turns east onto Richwood, Hillwood, Skywood, Pleasant Ridge Dr., Kingwood, Rockwood, Pine Valley, Sunset Circle, Greenwood, Kenwood (excluding those parts in Cammack Village). Turning south, the boundary goes from Pine Valley onto Crouchwood (skirting Cammack Village) to Durwood (excluding Betswood). The boundary turns east again onto Waverly to McKinley, then south on the West side of McKinley to properties along the north side of Perryville Road, then west onto Cantrell (North side of Cantrell only) to Keightly. The association also includes all remaining properties in Kingwood Place Addition.
The map below is a good approximation of the boundaries.
