For the 2026 LGAP and CWEF funding cycles, we are currently exploring various project ideas to continue improving our city’s infrastructure and services. On November 18th, Donald Bergeron and I attended a DEQ summit where the city was officially awarded the $1.2 million EPA regional coalition grant. This grant will be used to assess and address Brownfield sites in Ville Platte, including the old Parkview shopping center, for which I am currently in negotiations with the property owner. On November 19th, Mr. Ronnie Landreneau, Donald Bergeron, Tristan Soileau, and myself traveled to the state capitol, where Mr. Ronnie and I presented our case for additional water sector funding. After hearing our need for a new water well, the water sector committee unanimously voted to award the city of Ville Platte an additional $1.6 million. The city also received notice that we have been awarded $509,000 from the Delta Regional Authority through their SEDAP program to make upgrades to our municipal wastewater treatment facility. These improvements will restore treatment capacity, improve process stability, and ensure regulatory compliance—safeguarding public health, supporting existing customers, and enabling long-term business and housing growth in our community. At our last council meeting, I made everyone aware that I would be announcing a new business coming to Ville Platte. I have been in contact with the owner, Mr. Tom, who is highly enthusiastic about establishing his business in our city which will be located in the old Slap ya Mama building. This new powersports business will offer a variety of four-wheelers and side-by-sides from brands such as Polaris, Can-Am, and soon, Kawasaki. The business is expected to open by the end of the month. This is significant progress in our economic development efforts, as it will create jobs and increase our tax base—essential factors in maintaining long-term sustainability. We had a successful Thanksgiving partnering with Second Harvest, Mrs. Linda Sue, Acadian Ambulance, and Tractor Supply to bless families with full-course holiday meals. Prayers and heartfelt condolences are extended to the Veillon family for the loss of Mrs. Donna Veillon, a longtime and dedicated city employee who served our community with distinction until her retirement. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting Mrs. Ella Thomas, who celebrated her 100th birthday—a remarkable and blessed milestone. I presented her with a proclamation, along with balloons and candy. Mrs. Ella and her family expressed heartfelt appreciation for the city’s recognition. Lastly, as Christmas approaches, I want to remind everyone that Jesus is the reason for the season. City hall and the city square are looking beautiful, and we have just a few final touches left to complete our Christmas decor—including our new Christmas tree, which stands a towering 22 feet tall. I want to extend my sincere appreciation to all of our city employees for their hard work and dedication. A special thank you to Mrs. Candice, Ms. Nicole, Mrs. Tremeca, Mrs. Melissa, and Mrs. Laura Anderson for their outstanding assistance in putting together all of our Christmas decorations.
