The population of Arma City is approximately 20,000 people, and it's home to many miners and settlers. The population density is approximately 2.2 people per square mile, and the median household income is $27,337. However, there are some issues surrounding the city's poorer neighborhoods. To help alleviate some of these problems, a city's mayor may wish to consider providing affordable housing for the poorer population.
A recent meeting of the Crawford County Commission has approved a contract with the City of Arma to build a fire station in the industrial park. The deal was negotiated over numerous negotiations, and funding concerns were raised. At first, the city's leaders initially declined to fund the project. However, that was changed this spring and the two sides are now working out a deal to construct the station in the city's industrial park.
The City Council has met with RFD No. 2 to discuss the proposed project. The council hopes to make the proposal a reality while avoiding tension between the Arma and Franklin communities. Yoakum, who is a member of the Franklin Community Council, said that staying in Arma makes more financial sense. Although the city's current mayor does not want to compromise on the contract terms, he hopes for quick approval.
