According to an articlein the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, plans for a new science center for Northwest Arkansas are moving forward as the Northwest Arkansas Museum Foundation begins the process of site selection for the new 130,000 square-foot facility.
Proposals for a 130, 000-square-foot science center due Friday included locations across Northwest Arkansas, including Bentonville, Springdale, Johnson and Fayetteville.
The science center is being planned by the Northwest Arkansas Museum Foundation, a group commissioned by the late Fayetteville banker John Lewis, who envisioned the project.
The location for the museum will be selected by board members, and it should be determined by the end of the summer, said Brent Robinson, the foundation’s executive director.
