Hey Neighbors! We currently have a garbage truck that is down and has caused delays in regular pick up inside the city limits. Our mechanics are working hard to get it repaired but we are at the mercy of parts being delivered. Please be patient as we try to fix the problem.

Your residential trash will most likely not be picked up at the normal time. Please leave your cans by the curb and our guys will get them as quickly as possible. If your normal day was yesterday, they will circle back around and get that as soon as they can.

We appreciate your understanding! Please feel free to share with your friends and neighbors as well!!

For the third year in a row, USA Today has named Batesville one of the Best Small Towns in the South — and now our community has the opportunity to claim the top spot.

Voting is open now through March 30, and supporters can vote once per day as Batesville competes against ten other Southern communities for the No. 1 ranking.

This latest honor builds on a growing list of recognitions. Batesville has previously been named a Top 25 City by USA Today and earned Best Small Town in the South honors in both 2024 and 2025. The community has also been recognized as a Trendsetter City by Arkansas Business, named one of the Best Places to Raise a Family in Arkansas by HomeSnacks, and selected as a Community of the Year finalist by Community Playmaker in 2025.

Batesville’s recognition extends beyond rankings. Our community is home to award-winning schools, innovative locally owned businesses, and a growing network of parks, trails, and public spaces that enhance recreation and quality of life for families.

Downtown Batesville continues to thrive under the leadership of Main Street Batesville, earning statewide awards for historic preservation, economic vitality, and community-driven placemaking. The city has also earned statewide recognition as the Christmas Capital of Arkansas®, named the Ozark Gateway Region’s Festival of the Year and a finalist for Attraction of the Year by the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage, and Tourism.

Recent groundbreaking ceremonies further underscore the city’s forward momentum, including a $25 million investment in recreation and a $110 million investment in water infrastructure improvements — transformational projects designed to support long-term growth without increasing taxes.

Tourism continues to fuel Batesville’s growth and visibility. In 2025, more than 850,000 visitors traveled to Batesville, with 39 percent coming from out of state and representing all 50 states. Those visitors generated more than $450 million in economic impact for the local economy.

Residents and supporters are encouraged to vote daily through March 30 to help Batesville claim the top spot.
