Port Barre council discusses converting Glass Systems building into gym and recreation center
Summary
Mayor John P. Ardoin and the Town Council discussed applying for a grant to convert the Glass Systems building into a gymnasium and recreation center and agreed to have the property appraised before pursuing options.
Mayor John P. Ardoin led a council discussion about alternatives to selling the Glass Systems building, including pursuing a grant to convert the site into a gymnasium and recreation center. The council agreed the building should be appraised and that the matter would be revisited at future meetings.
The idea came up as council members weighed options for the town-owned property instead of an immediate sale. No formal motion to pursue a specific grant program was recorded; the minutes show only direction to obtain an appraisal and continue deliberation at a later date. The council did not adopt any binding commitment for design, timeline, or funding source at this meeting.
The item was introduced during general council business and will return to the agenda for further consideration once an appraisal and any grant-scope information are available.
