Nearly $51 million in federal coronavirus funds will be used to fix roads, bridges, and drainage infrastructure across Lafayette Parish if Mayor-President Josh Guillory gets his way.
Guillory released his plan for spending nearly $85 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds during Tuesday s special joint meeting of the Lafayette city and parish councils. The members of the councils voted to introduce the proposed ARPA budget and defer a final vote on the ordinance until August 17. This gives council members, who received the plan minutes before the meeting began, an extra two weeks to review the plan before they make a final vote.

Lafayette Consolidated Government has announced that sandbags are available in Lafayette Parish ahead of heavy rains in the forecast for the area this weekend.
The area of low pressure in the Bay of Campeche has a high probability of tropical development over the next few days, with rain impacts likely for portions of Louisiana and Acadiana late Friday into Saturday.
Significant amounts of rain over the last few months have left the ground saturated, which could lead to additional flood events this weekend, LCG says. LCG is urging residents to prepare and get sandbags early, especially those who live in areas prone to flooding.
