A bill that would approve a land swap between the city of Lafayette and UL has advanced in the legislature.
Yesterday, HB 335 by state Rep. Jean-Paul Coussan was sent to the Senate Natural Resources committee after it was passed by the House on April 29. So far, the bill has met no resistance; the legislature s website says it passed the House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment 13-0, and then passed the House 93-0.

At issue is a plan that would swap land owned by the city with land owned by the university. The city needs a new fire station to replace the one that currently is on Johnston Street near UL. It s been in the works for several years.
