| H1 tags : ; Arkansas State University and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have partnered with the City of Dyess and local stakeholders to preserve and promote the rich and unique heritage of Dyess Colony. Work is currently underway to restore the exterior of the 1934 Dyess Colony Administration Building, as well as stabilize the façade of the c. 1940 Dyess Theater. Funds for this phase of the project have been secured from the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Council, with additional fundraising for future phases in progress. Plans for reuse include relocating municipal government offices and services into the Administration Building, developing a museum of Dyess history and heritage, and creating multi-use community space for residents of and visitors to Dyess.
