Despite its modest population, Lindeville streets and available parking can sometimes feel clogged during the Summer and Fall months as the Faulkner County Fair and the Harvest Festival bring tourists to town. Now residents brace for what could be an even bigger upheaval in their daily commutes with the proposed construction of a new Department of Motor Vehicles building. If the proposal is agreed to by city hall during the next session, the 3 story building would begin construction in 2025 and could add to the already jammed streets and precious few parking spots. While many in town acknowledge the need for the new building, the inconvenience seems to outweigh the excitement for construction of a costly new government building.

Local resident Lester Jackson spoke out at a recent city hall meeting, “We all hate going there whether it’s a new building or not. What does it matter if I wait in line for 2 hours in a new building or an old broke ass one?”

All eyes will be on city hall (and those parking spots) as the proposal makes its way through the building this fall.
