Shifting Focus

Throughout the next few months, CenLamar will be focusing on a series of issues related to smart growth, sustainability, renewable energy, public safety, and recreation– issues that are essential to the redevelopment of our fair City.

For continued political analysis, we recommend you turn to our friends at The Daily Kingfish and Your Right Hand Thief. They are some of the best in the business. (And as a side note, both Daniel and I will be covering the Democratic National Convention, from the floor in Denver, on The Daily Kingfish).

There’s a good reason we’re shifting focus right now, but the main reason is timing. We are in the beginning stages of implementing one of the largest redevelopment projects in the history of Alexandria. It’s a project that will likely occupy the vast majority of our time and energy– and frankly, it should be a conversation that seeks to include people from all walks of life. It should not be hamstrung by national and statewide electoral politics. Though those issues are imminently and incredibly important, we recognize that there is a time and more importantly a place for those continued discussions.

Ultimately, this website has always been about living in Central Louisiana. By shifting focus, we hope to augment our ability to engage to our core audience– the people who live and work in Central Louisiana.
