As the third quarter of 2021 comes to an end, I feel it is important to share some of the work that has been accomplished in our city. I encourage you to share this information, and I hope that you will reach out if you have any questions about these or other projects - Mayor Ray Bourque
โค The City Council has voted to support and fund just over $1 million for road overlay projects, which will take place over the coming months.โค Our city has three new Certified Sites, which means more opportunity to bring big manufacturers, such as our first one - the SafeSource PPE plant, to our city.
โค Phase 1 of Envision Broussard will be completed soon. This $2.4 million project is happening along Main St., from S. Bernard Rd. to Clara St., and includes major drainage improvements, such as a new box culvert that was recently installed to improve drainage near S. Bernard Rd. and Main St. as well as reconfiguration of drainage swales. There will also be an entry gateway structure, 10-foot-wide multiuse paths, signage, landscaping, and more. For more information, visitย https://www.cityofbroussard.com/doing.../envision-broussard.
โค We launchedย www.discoverbroussard.com, a tourism-related website, which will market our local businesses and tell the story of our rich history to visitors and locals alike.
โค We completed water projects along S. Bernard Rd., our downtown area, along Ambassador Caffery Pkwy., and near the railroad crossing at Albertson Pkwy., plus a new waterline project started along La Neuville Rd.
โค Our City Water Dept. was recognized by the EPA for participating in the Area Wide Optimization Program.
