The health, safety and welfare of our property owners, residents, employees, visitors and businesses are priority one for Hot Springs Village. We encourage social distancing or sheltering in place to prevent COVID19 from spreading in our community.
We also encourage supporting local businesses as can safely be achieved. Several are offering delivery services, online services, gift certificates and other creative methods to serve their customers and we applaud their efforts.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson started his daily COVID-19 expressing concern for the 72,000 Arkansans still without power due to the powerful storms last weekend. He said there are more than 4,000 workers trying to restore power to electric customers.
