City of Ozark

Earlier this month, for Sense of Community, we interviewed several teachers in the Ozarks about why they teach — and what they face.

A new retail development may be coming to the City of Ozark. Monday, the Board of Aldermen considered three items related to the project.

The City of Ozark’s Police Department is asking the Board of Aldermen to approve the purchase of 32 body worn cameras.

Ozark has contracts with the company Flock for three cameras. They hope to add nine more. The cameras can search for suspicious and wanted vehicles, relay data and alert officers.

Phase IV will add 7,000 feet of new trails, fill a major gap in the trail system and add a potentially iconic pedestrian and bike bridge over Highway 65.

The Onward Ozark Corridor study was launched by the City of Ozark in October 2023 to develop a vision for growth along three major corridors in the city.

Community leaders shared data and accomplishments from the past year and goals for the year ahead.

The city opened the Garrison Springs Community Forest Tuesday. It purchased the property in 2021.

At its Monday meeting Ozark’s Board of Aldermen considered a contract for new locks and honored outgoing Alderman Rj Flores. Flores’ absence will leave a vacancy on the Board for Ward One.

The Ozark Board of Aldermen voted Monday to move forward with a development proposal that would fill a vacant lot on the north side of the historic square. They voted down a previous design in April.
