“What is Being Built in Front of Lowe’s?”: Locals Curious About New Development
Conway residents are buzzing with curiosity after noticing construction work underway on the lot directly in front of Lowe’s on Skyline Drive. A post asked the question many have had on their minds: “What’s being built in front of Lowe’s?” — and the speculation came pouring in.
From Coffee Shops to Clinics: Theories Abound
In true Conway fashion, dozens of locals weighed in with guesses ranging from fast food chains to health clinics.
“I heard it’s going to be a Starbucks drive-thru,” one commenter claimed, while another responded, “Nah, it’s supposed to be an urgent care center.”
Some shared more speculative ideas:
- A mattress or furniture store
- A new bank branch
- Another chicken restaurant (because why not add to the growing collection?)
What We Know So Far
According to the City of Conway’s Planning and Development Office, the site at 1306 Skyline Drive was recently issued a commercial development permit, but the full project details have not yet been publicly confirmed. However, filings with the Faulkner County Assessor’s Office show that the land is zoned C-3 (Highway Commercial) — a designation that allows for a wide variety of retail, medical, and food service uses.
While no official signage is up yet, construction appears to be progressing quickly, with foundation work and utility setup already visible from the road.
Locals Want Clarity
Residents say they’d appreciate more transparency around new developments, especially when they pop up so visibly.
“I wish the city would post a little sign that says what’s coming—save us all from guessing!” wrote one local mom.
If you’re curious about other development projects happening around town, the City of Conway maintains an active building permit portal where you can track recent applications.
