ARCADIA, La. A contractor who has previously made repairs to town property in Arcadia has been arrested by the Bienville Parish Sheriff’s Office for felony contractor fraud.
ARCADIA, La. Closing on the sale of the town-owned Arcadia Outlet Mall to should be completed this week, said Town Attorney Rob Moore.
In a special meeting last week, Jeff McGehee, the highest bidder at $500,000, explained what he would do with the facility once the sale is complete. Owner of Jane Marie, a âpick, pack and shipâ company in Dubach, he intends to move the business to the Arcadia Outlet Mall.
âJane Marie is a company where we help women feel beautiful,â he said. âThatâs what we do. Our current location is in Dubach, and we have a 15,000 square foot facility out there and itâs not nearly big enough. So weâre going to move the operation to Arcadia. Currently, we have up to 32 people working for us; we intend to continue that growth. Thereâs no way we can do that where we currently are.â
