- Jefferson Parish President John Young said his administration is working to get the Jefferson Performing Arts Center built and open. WVUE has an update.
- Now that Mayor Mike Yenni has held the first in a series of "community listening sessions," City Hall wants feedback. It has posted a survey on its website. Meanwhile, Walt Bennetti grouses at clickjefferson.com that Yenni showed up 30 minutes late for the listening session; Yenni denied it Thursday, saying the doors opened at 7 p.m., the meeting started at 7:30 p.m. and "I arrived at 7:32, before any citizen spoke."
- Also from Bennetti is a look at how the Kenner City Council last week gave a two-year $200,000 maintenance contract for 49 emergency generators to Taylor Power Systems of Richland, Miss., instead of Cummins Mid-South of Kenner. The monetary difference in the bids was $87.
- The Jefferson Parish Planning Advisory Board meets Thursday (Feb. 28) at 5 p.m. in Elmwood. The agenda shows four east bank cases, including Metairie Park Country Day School's request to avoid landscaping, off-street parking and clear vision area requirements.
