Jefferson Parish land from Revenue Positive to Budget Expense

For decades Jefferson Parish had a large revenue source with the restaurants over water and access via a 500′ long strip of land ranging from 50′ to 100′ wide. With the restaurants gone that land is now a park and needs to be in the Park and Rec Budget.

New Park in Metairie, on Metairie Road, named “Bayou Park.” Less than 2 acres in size. Jefferson Parish needs to accept responsibility for its land in West End Lakeshore Park and repair the seawall, repair the sidewall, and care for the 15 Heritage Oaks on its land.

Jefferson Parish Attorney writes: “Meaning we take care of it.”
