The Pine Bluff Urban Renewal Agency will hold a special meeting at 4 p.m. Monday to discuss the executive director position, according to a statement e-mailed to the Commercial Friday afternoon.
The meeting will be held at Good Faith Carr United Methodist Church, 3703 Ryburn Road.
More than a week ago, the agency announced the hiring of Brad Williams as its executive director. Williams, according to the agency, was to have overseen daily oversight of the Central City Urban Renewal Plan. Attempts by the Commercial to reach out to members of the agency on Friday were unsuccessful.
The agency is an offshoot of the Go Forward Pine Bluff initiative and is designed to oversee the removal of blight and the repurposing of buildings in the city.
After the special meeting, a previously scheduled forum will begin at 5:30 p.m. at Good Faith Carr.
Independent reporting for Pine Bluff & Jefferson County since 1879.
