Joseph Candler Jr. Memorial Foundation requests parish support for Tallulah Commons DRA proposal
Summary
Dr. P. Candler asked the Madison Parish Police Jury for formal support of a Delta Regional Authority Community Infrastructure Fund application to establish the Tallulah Commons: Resilience and Opportunity Center; the minutes record the request but show no vote or formal action on the support.
Dr. P. Candler appeared before the Madison Parish Police Jury on May 27, 2025, to request formal support from the parish for the Joseph Candler, Jr. Memorial Foundation's application to the Delta Regional Authority (DRA) Community Infrastructure Fund. The proposal seeks to establish the "Tallulah Commons: Resilience and Opportunity Center" in Madison Parish.
The minutes record the request and identify the funder (DRA Community Infrastructure Fund) and proponent (Joseph Candler, Jr. Memorial Foundation), but provide no detail in the record about project budget, scope, or a juror response other than that Dr. Candler "appeared before the jurors to request formal support." The transcript does not record a motion, second, or vote related to the request.
Because the jury did not record a formal action on the request in these minutes, any next steps (for example, staff review, a formal resolution of support, or a future vote) are not specified in the record.
