Good morning, Fayetteville.

Crisis Brewing will begin work on a new 10,000 square foot production facility with a 6,000 square foot indoor/outdoor taproom along Nelson Hackett Boulevard in south Fayetteville.

The project—planned for seven years—is set to be reviewed by the Planning Commission in the coming weeks and could open in late 2026 or early-to-mid 2027 as the brewery continues operating at its current location.

A West Fork man—Brayden Storey, 21—was arrested and is accused of trying to lure a 13-year-old girl after he talked in a sexual way with her on Instagram, Discord, and text messages and sent her a letter with his hair; he will be sent to New York.

Professor Marty Matlock from U of A was named a 2025 Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science—this honor recognizes his work to make farming more sustainable and to help more Indigenous students join science.

He will be formally recognized at a ceremony in June in Washington, D.C.

University of Arkansas alumni Stephanie and Kevin Wilcox donated $250,000 to the Land of Opportunity Scholarship Endowment to help Arkansas students overcome barriers to higher education.

Chancellor Charles Robinson said the gift supports UA's land-grant mission and comes as the campaign quickly raised 64% of its goal with pledged funds.

The Sweet 16 will feature only power conference teams for the first time since the bracket expanded in 1985—No.10 seed Arkansas is the highest seed and will play Texas Tech tonight in San Francisco.
