Drainage-CREATE Rededication, Other Tax Renewals Approved In Lafayette Parish
Lafayette Parish voters chose to approve a rededication of property tax funds to go to drainage and the CREATE initiative for culture and tourism development.
The measure was approved by a vote of 9,845-to-7,109 (58 % to 42%).
The proposition would rededicate 3.56 mils to the two purposes with 1.10 mills going to fund drainage projects; 0.25 mills for CREATE; and 2.21 mills for other public health purposes.
Lafayette Mayor-President Joel Robideaux told KPEL Friday voters had responded favorably to the rededication via social media.

Also approved was the 10-year renewal of a 2.06-mill proposal that will fund the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office Minimum Security Detention and Correctional Facility. Parish voters approved the renewal by a vote of 65-to-35-percent.
