Three new restaurants are expected to open in downtown Van Buren in the next six months. The owners of The Vault 1905 Sports Grill, Crazy Cajun-Mex and The Pasta Grill are all busy updating and restoring the hundred-year-old buildings that house their establishments. According to members of Van Buren Original, a nonprofit coalition that formed about four years ago, targeted investment in Main Street's historic buildings and a new process of acquiring private club permits to sell alcohol in a dry county have been critical to attracting new restaurants.
