LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - A team of disaster volunteers who arrived in Southwest Louisiana a day after Hurricane Laura, will wrap up their work next week.
Christian Aid Ministries has been cleaning up Westlake for the last 7 and a half months. Westlake Mayor Bob Hardey said they were a God-send.
“In two days, with their help, we were driving every road in Westlake,” recalled Hardey. “Two days after the hurricane.”
WESTLAKE â The Westlake City Council approved the formation of a City Limit Expansion Committee at their monthly meeting Monday night.
The committee will be chaired by council member Jeremy Cryer and Kenny Brown will be a member. Mayor Bob Hardey said the exploratory committee will determine how much interest there is from residents in unincorporated areas, what it would cost to provide services to new residents, how it would affect the cityâs fire rating and more.
âIâm looking forward to seeing what we find,â Hardey said. âItâs not a forced annexation.â
The mayor said the cost of providing services may be prohibitive, noting that it cost $1 million to provide sewer to one city block.
