CONWAY — The planning board conducted a full site plan review for the upcoming renovation of the Northern Human Services building at 626 Eastman Road in Redstone.
The current property consists of an office building connected to a former roller rink. NHS hopes to tear down the existing structures and replace them with a 23,240-square-foot two-story office building accompanied by 90 parking spots.
