Six months after a tornado tore through Little Rock’s homes and businesses reconstruction has been painstaking. Owners are continuing to negotiate with insurance providers while contractors are struggling to find enough workers. Additionally, inflation has been causing building materials to be more expensive.
Damage includes the roof of the Pulaski County Title building where the walls were knocked down and the roof was destroyed. The roof is currently being repaired but the replacement “is still a couple weeks out,” according to Roehrenbeck, the owner of the building. In Breckenridge Village major renovations were occurring with many new restaurants getting ready to open. Unfortunately, they “lost about three months’ worth of construction,” said Jake Keet of JTJ Restaurants of Little Rock.
