# 2026-05 Pulaski County Government FOIA Response On 2026-05-22, Pulaski County government responded to the data-center FOIA request for AVAIO / Project Leo PILOT, zoning, bond-financing, and correspondence records. County Attorney Hamilton Kemp reported that the only responsive records are held by the Planning & Development Department; the county holds nothing else. ## Sources This is a FOIA-correspondence event; its record lives in Gmail, not in `raw/`. - FOIA request and response, 2026-05-22 ([thread](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#all/19e50693be326fd7)). ## What happened [[Joshua Dunlap]] filed an Arkansas FOIA request to Pulaski County government on 2026-05-22 — to County Attorney Hamilton Kemp, copying County Judge Barry Hyde and Planning & Development Director Jim Cranor — for PILOT agreements, Quorum Court records, industrial-development-bond records, rezoning / land-use records, and developer correspondence on the AVAIO / Project Leo site. - Planning & Development Director Jim Cranor replied that the department's responsive records are held by paralegal Cedric Simpson, already compiled *"regarding previously submitted FOIA requests."* - County Attorney Hamilton Kemp gave the county's consolidated answer: *"My paralegal Cedric will email you the responsive documents we have. It all came from the County Planning Department. We have no other responsive documents."* ## Significance The county's only responsive records are Planning & Development (zoning / land-use) records — request item 4. The county reported **no** PILOT agreements, **no** Quorum Court ordinances or minutes, **no** industrial-development-bond records, and **no** developer correspondence (items 1, 2, 3, 5). The absence is itself a finding: had Pulaski County structured a tax-incentive or bond-financed deal for Project Leo, that would have left PILOT instruments, Quorum Court votes, and bond records. It did not — consistent with the [[2026-05 Little Rock Port Authority No-Records Response]], which places the project with the [[Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce]] and AEDC rather than local government. That the Planning records were pre-compiled *"regarding previously submitted FOIA requests"* indicates an earlier requester sought the same zoning file; it is an incoming production that may identify the Project Leo parcels.
