Police Jury approves Mid City senior cottages phase, trust authority says 40–44 one‑bedroom units planned
Summary
Jurors adopted a resolution approving the Mid City Senior Cottages project and an annual payment in lieu of taxes; a Trust Authority representative said the phase will include about 40–44 single‑bedroom cottages for seniors.
The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury voted Feb. 19 to approve a resolution for the Mid City Senior Cottages project, including an annual payment in lieu of taxes for the development’s next phase.
Carmel Jones Walker, representing the Trust Authority, described the component as part of the Mid City redevelopment and said, “My understanding is about 40 44 single bedroom cottages are gonna be built for seniors only in that part of the development.” Jurors asked clarifying questions about the location and whether the units would be standalone cottages; Ms. Jones Walker and Matt Kern provided responses during the meeting.
The resolution moved forward without a recorded roll‑call tally. Jurors did not record formal objections on the issue in the available transcript; discussion focused on unit counts and project placement within the larger redevelopment.
