A wide-ranging discussion of everything from requests for funding for home improvements to complaints about 18-wheelers driving through residential areas took place Thursday on TalkBack Live hosted by Floyd Donald.

Larry Matthews and Lori Walker of the City’s Economic and Community Development Department were the guests and Matthews was asked about those funds for home improvements.

On another subject, the City contracted with Pine Bluff Cable to increase service to the north side of Pine Bluff and Matthews discussed that.

Matthews and Walker were also questioned about truck routes, particularly in neighborhoods, with Matthews explaining the current system.

Walker then explained how residents could get more information.
