Cabot has received a regional interior design award from the South-Central Section of the American Society of Interior Designers for the Cabot Justice Center, Arkansas Money & Politics reported March 24. The center, designed by WDD Architects, was recognized for its “beautifully designed interior renovation serving multiple municipalities.”

Formerly a shopping center, the 44,000-square-foot center is now home to the Cabot Police Department, city administration meeting space and district court, Lonoke County 911 dispatch and Cabot’s Connect2First fiber utility. The city’s voters approved the funding for the Cabot Justice Center in 2021 as part of a bond initiative. WDD representatives presented city leaders with the award during a March 23 ceremony.

“The recognition highlights the city’s commitment to delivering high-quality public facilities that are a good steward of taxpayers’ dollars,” Cabot Mayor Ken Kincade said. “This project was about more than a building—it was about creating a space that works for our community every day. We’re proud of this facility and honored to have it recognized by ASID.”
