Today we’re excited to highlight Paragould as a featured city in the newest issue of Block, Street & Building Magazine. James Walden’s article, “Innovation in Paragould: The City’s Land Bank is Transforming Housing One Neighborhood at a Time,” goes through the steps taken by the City of Paragould and the Paragould Regional Chamber of Commerce to revitalize Paragould’s Legacy Neighborhoods through a policy mechanism called land banking. The success of this process has produced nearly 50 new homes in the Legacy Neighborhoods without displacing a single resident.

Thank you, James Walden, for highlighting this project in Block, Street & Building Volume 12 | 2026.
