Like much of Calcasieu Parish, the last several months of 2020 were a blur of recovery and rebuilding after the summer hurricanes for Westlake.
âWe had close to 30 (municipal) sites that were damaged,â Mayor Bob Hardey said Tuesday. âCity Hall took the worst of it.â
The east and back sides of the building had to be rebuilt due to the collapse of a 30 foot section of wall on the east side, which served a drive-thru, drop off location for utility payments. Those are now being handled in the lobby of City Hall, with most of the other departments sharing space in Council Chambers.
