8th Street Motel and Restaurant to Enhance Hospitality Scene
Rogers, AR – The Rogers Planning Commission approved plans for a large-scale development at 915 South 8th Street, combining a 10,552-square-foot hotel with a 2,378-square-foot fast food restaurant and drive-thru. The project aims to boost hospitality options in a prime location within the Highway Commercial zone.
Key elements of the development include:
Strategic Location: Positioned near a major arterial road, the site offers high visibility and easy access for travelers.
Traffic Considerations: The drive-thru waiver raised discussions about managing vehicle flow and pedestrian safety, with measures proposed to mitigate congestion.
Residents expressed both enthusiasm for the economic potential and concerns about the traffic impact. The commission highlighted the importance of balancing growth with infrastructure readiness, particularly in areas prone to high traffic volumes.
The project is poised to begin construction in 2025, contributing to Rogers’ growing reputation as a destination city.
