Council approves $4 million bond sale for park despite concerns it could scuttle rec reform plan
A local recreation board has won final approval to sell $4 million worth of bonds to build a new park despite concerns it will hobble or kill a proposal to reform Terrebonne Parish s public recreation system.
The Terrebonne Parish Council, during a contentious meeting Wednesday night, approved Rec District 1 s request to sell the bonds and use the money for a new Coteau-Bayou Blue Park.
Here is how council members voted on the bond sale:

The Hammond Regional Arts Center is currently hosting the Wild & Free Exhibition until May 21, featuring three Louisiana-based artists.
HRAC’s online preview for this exhibition stated that each featured artist is known for bringing colorful life into their artworks without limitations. The three artists, April Hammock, Denise Hopkins and Kimberly Meadowlark, bring colorful pieces of art to the Hammond scene.
Tara Bennett, the center’s media coordinator, along with HRAC Board Member Jordan Kenning, chose these artists when told about the idea for this exhibit.
“These artists came to mind when Executive Director Melissa Griffin pitched the concept of an exhibition that incorporated a ‘wildly colorful exhibition to usher in spring.’ Griffin and Kenning worked together to produce an exhibition that would celebrate the expressive use of color,” Bennett stated.
