In an interview with ArkansasNewsroom.com then, Hartwick said with a laugh but still serious that, “I’m ready to get rid of that old bus station. It is past time for that thing to go.”
Hartwick, who previously served as head of the North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, had said then he wanted the city or a developer to purchase the property. There’s also been multiple plans, filling large binders on dusty shelves, that have been drawn up by the city for downtown development with the bus station as a point of emphasis as a site for redevelopment.
The Greyhound station is located at 118 E. Washington Ave. and directly across from the parking lot for the Chamber of Commerce.
