Northern Louisiana Interfaith Delta Cluster will host its “Candidates Accountability Night” in Lake Providence, Monday September 13 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at the Louisiana Cotton Museum Plantation Hall
Candidates for Mayor, Alderman, and Police Chief have been invited to the event to address concerns of many citizens. Interfaith is a non-partsian political organization and we do not back political candidates or parties. Interfaith does not take money from political parties, candidates, those in office or those seeking office.
Issues on the agenda are:
Animal Control – In recent house meetings Delta Cluster leaders expressed concern about stray animals within city limits. After several visits to Lake Providence City Council, some horses were removed and a call in line to report stray animals was established. Nevertheless, the problem persists.
Infrastructure – Delta Cluster leaders walked the neighborhood and took pictures of vacant and abandoned buildings. The Delta Cluster is asking the Mayor and City Council of Lake Providence to tear these unsafe structures down.
Jobs and Employment – The Port of Lake Providence has a prospect for a new $50 million plant. Interfaith works with New Opportunities Vision and Achievement (NOVA) of Northeast Louisiana which trains local workers for jobs. Interfaith requests that the City work with it to identify funding for NOVA to expand to Lake Providence.
General Commitment to work with Interfaith – The Delta Cluster requests that the Mayor and the Council work with Interfaith to address these and other issues impacting Lake Providence.
