Chambers County court renames Old River Winfrey building for longtime mayor Frank J. Landry
Summary
The Commissioners Court unanimously approved a resolution renaming the Old River Winfrey Community Building to the Mayor Joe Landry Community Building to honor Pastor Frank Joseph Landry’s 32 years as mayor and service to Old River Winfrey and Chambers County.
Chambers County Commissioners Court voted unanimously to rename the Old River Winfrey Community Building the Mayor Joe Landry Community Building in honor of Pastor Frank Joseph Landry.
The resolution recited Landry’s decades of public service — noting more than 32 years as mayor of Old River Winfrey, leadership at Little Rock Missionary Baptist Church since 1993, and military service during the Vietnam War, including a Purple Heart. Court members said the designation is intended as a permanent tribute to his leadership and community contributions.
Commissioner Hammond moved to approve the resolution; a second was recorded and the court approved the measure without opposition. Several commissioners and attendees praised Landry’s community impact and presence at the meeting, and the court recessed briefly afterward for family and friends to take photographs.
The action is a formal, symbolic recognition by the Commissioners Court; no budget allocation or implementation steps beyond placing the new name on the building were detailed in the discussion. The court recorded the resolution as passed and approved in March 2026.
