Balcony Shut Down for Safety
from Little Rock News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Today!
The historic balcony at The Greens at North Hills, built in 1963, is shut down indefinitely after safety concerns sparked by visible cracks and sloping concrete. Capacity in the building is now capped at 49 people. This means the annual Fourth of July Balcony Blast — a beloved event where guests enjoyed fireworks and food on the balcony — is canceled. But don’t worry: the city’s rolling out an even bigger Independence Day celebration with enhanced fireworks, food trucks, and activities on the surrounding grounds. Event organizers and regular visitors are being relocated to safer venues like Sherwood Forest and the Bill Harmon Recreation Center — and many are actually relieved the issue was caught early. Officials are now diving into engineering reports to find the root cause and implement lasting fixes, with no timeline yet for reopening or returning to full capacity.
