LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A western Arkansas city wants to draw attention to a 94-year-old water tower in an attempt to boost tourism.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (https://bit.ly/2pa3lyE ) reports the $240,000 project will illuminate the water tower in West Memphis with hanging glistening cables, to give the effect of cascading water.
The cost includes lights, a small park and garden, cables with shiny discs that’ll hang from the structure, a plaque denoting the tower’s history and a sitting area.

The project could begin in June and be completed by the end of the year.
The plan comes on the heels of plans to build a 5-mile trail along the Mississippi River that connects a walkway that opened in October. It crosses the river by the Harahan Bridge to Memphis.
