The St. Charles Parish Council will meet on April 7, at the Council Chambers on River Road to discuss several items, including a bond issue and zoning changes. The meeting is open for public hearing and comment. One major topic is a resolution to preliminarily approve the issuance of up to $10 million in Taxable Limited Tax Bonds to support projects within the parish, according to the St. Charles Parish.

A proposed zoning reclassification seeks to change Lots 1A and 2A, Square B, in the St. Rose Subdivision from commercial to residential. The request comes from Malcolm Darensbourg's M.A.D. III, LLC. This rezoning is part of broader efforts to address local land use and development. Residents and stakeholders in St. Charles Parish are encouraged to participate in the decision-making process.

The St. Charles Parish council will discuss a potential engineering services agreement with Linfield, Hunter & Junius, Inc. for the New Sarpy CN Culvert Crossings, costing up to $692,052. They will also consider a road maintenance contract for 2024-25 with Barriere Construction Co., L.L.C., worth over $2.7 million. The council will appoint a voting member to the Local ITEP Committee, which handles local industry tax exemption matters.
