CHAFFEE CROSSING IS BOOMING WITH ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY GROWTH!
Formerly 7,000 acres that were part of Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, this base redevelopment project started with the 1995 Base Realignment And Closure (BRAC). Today, the Fort Chaffee Redevelopment Authority trust oversees land sales and development of the property known as Chaffee Crossing. FCRA's Master Plan guides development based upon Smart Growth, New Urbanist principles with a goal of making Chaffee Crossing a diversified, walkable community that has an overriding quality of life.
Workplaces, homes, recreational amenities, trails, shopping, churches and more are all conveniently situated near each other for a complete community within the cities of Fort Smith and Barling, Arkansas. The property is also within three school districts: Fort Smith Public School District, Greenwood Public School District and Lavaca Public School District.

Fort Chaffee Redevelopment Authority announces it has commissioned Fort Smith-muralist Bryan Alexis to create a mural in the Chaffee Crossing Historic and Entertainment District. The mural will be named “Impact Area” to identify with the thousands of soldiers, refugees, evacuees, and civilian workers whose life paths brought them to Fort Chaffee, formerly Camp Chaffee, a World War II-era U.S. Army training camp established in 1941-1942. The installation will be located at 7301 Fort Chaffee Blvd., Fort Smith, Arkansas.
