The city/state swap is on

BY ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Lafayette and the state will swap ownership of parts of two major roadways in the city to facilitate Mayor-President Monique Boulet's Johnston Street and Bertrand Drive redevelopment plans, with a caveat: the possible creation of an economic development district along Johnston Street with a special sales tax to pay for the work.

The City Council unanimously agreed Tuesday to swap a stretch of Johnston Street and Bertrand Drive, which the state owns, with nearly four miles of Ambassador Caffery Parkway, which the city owns, between Johnston Street and Bertrand Drive.
