Parkview Motel located at 1617 West Main Street has been in operation for 75 years as of July 1, 2025. Built on the junction of US 67 and 62, a traffic report from 2022 conducted by the Arkansas Department of Transportation stated that 7,300 cars pass by the motel every 48 hours. Corning was in 1950, as it is today in 2025 a midway stop for travelers between Little Rock and St. Louis (As of today, Corning lies 170 miles from Little Rock and 180 miles from St. Louis). Regardless if you caught a train on the Missouri Pacific Railroad or loaded up in your personal automobile and drove down US 67, Corning was your midway point which naturally led to the need to house the weary road or rail travelers who found their way here.

Corning School District officials plan to roll out the “Bell to Bell, No Cell” policy this fall, reminding families that personal electronic devices will be off-limits during the instructional day.

The Corning Public Library summer reading program welcomed the AA Petting Zoo on June 17. Families lined up to get up close and personal to several animals.
