Bayou Paquet Watershed Projects

Apparently, some confusion exists regarding the proposed rezoning for three adjacent parcels along Highway 190. Factually, a trio of clustered subdivisions are planned, each of which requires one or more rezoning petitions. They are all located in Steve Stefancik’s District 11.

All three are large, overly dense developments that will significantly expand traffic and increase water runoff/pollutants into Bayou Paquet; ultimately dumping everything into Lake Pontchartrain. If the rezoning plans succeed and the projects proceed as planned, they will adversely impact the quality of life to our entire community along the Bayou Paquet Watershed.

We understand this may be bewildering, if not also daunting. Nevertheless, these three developments merely reflect those that we know about today. Others may be in the queue. Keep informed through the bayoulibertyassociation.com

website, the Bayou Liberty Association Facebook page, and the Bayou Community Preservation Facebook page. As circumstances and information updates we will post them.
