Pictured: Demolition of the north side of building. A portion of the former Southwestern Bell Telephone building in Hope (located at 320 South Main Street across from First Baptist Church), was torn down on Monday, November 9th. EPA Demolition & Construction came from Little Rock to do the job, beginning the task at 8:00 am on Monday morning. According to AT&T, the present owner/operator of the building, the work being done included tearing down the one-third of the building that wasn’t being used. They will rebrick the now exposed wall facing Main Street and continue to use the remainder of the building for current telephone operations. Dial tones, DSL, and all mobile phones all run through this building. They also use a large generator that is connected to the building.

Project Bulletin, November 9, 2026: Camden, Arkansas; Jonesborough, Tennessee; Centennial, Colorado
Last week, Lockheed Martin announced plans for a $420 million expansion of its operations in southern Arkansas. The company is aiming to increase production capacity for the U.S. Department of War’s (DOW) PAC-3, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense and Precision Strike Missile platforms at the 2,427-acre Camden site. The current 2.2-million-sq.-ft. facility houses production for seven DOW programs which has supplied over 700,000 rockets and missiles in the past four decades. This expansion follows Lockheed’s January 2026 investment to construct a new Munitions Acceleration Center in the city, further deepening the company’s footprint in the region while enhancing technical capabilities. “Lockheed Martin is investing at unprecedented speed and scale to expand manufacturing capacity and deliver the critical capabilities our warfighters need, faster,” said Lockheed Martin Camden Site General Manager Adam Bailey. “For more than four decades, Camden has played a vital role in strengthening our nation’s defense, and this investment marks another significant step in accelerating production, advancing next-generation manufacturing and creating 650 new jobs.”

It was suburban shopping of the postwar kind: a large cluster of stores on Shreveport-Barksdale Highway, laid out for people who arrived by car. Shreve City kept building after it opened.
