Proposed sites for Arkansas State Fair cut to 4 (UALR Public Radio) - The Arkansas Livestock Show Association has cut the list of proposed sites for the Arkansas State Fair to four.

The current location in Little Rock is among them. The other sites are two locations near the intersection of Interstates 40 and 440 in North Little Rock and along I-440 near U.S. 167 in the Jacksonville area.

The association's board agreed to allow a buyer's agent to begin negotiating agreements to buy the land in the Jacksonville area.

Fair officials say a lack of space and the appearance and safety of the neighborhood where the fair is now located led to discussions about moving.
