Wow, it has been over 3 years and though many of us are tired of hearing about Port Marigny (PM), the special meeting that was quietly scheduled for Thursday Nov 29th, 6:00 is VERY IMPORTANT. It could be the one that votes a law that forever changes Mandeville. We had a nice little lull as …

Your voice needs to be heard! Once developed – it can’t be undone. 1. Port Marigny is NOT a done deal! It still must be approved by the City Council and they look like they will take their time to make sure this is done correctly. It is unlikely the current council will vote on …
The picture featured in this post, is the overhead view of a high density trailer park. I have used it before when trying to talk about the “potential” (key word here – it could be turned down by a council vote), development of Port Marigny. No matter what way you slice it – the owners …
One Election Issue: Quality of Life The only issue any resident of the City of Mandeville should care about when voting this election cycle, is Port Marigny. Why, you might ask?
