Horse Farm Update

As has been widely reported, the Save the Horse Farm organization helped stop the sale of the Johnston Street property, but what hasn't been so widely reported is what's going on now. Mayor Joey Durel and new UL President, Joel Savoie are working together to finalize the details on how the city will acquire the land and Save the Horse Farm is working with city officials and civic organizations to make sure this property is financially self sustainable. To accomplish that, STHF has set up the Acadiana Greenspace Legacy Fund to raise money through the Community Foundation of Acadiana to keep the property from being a financial drain on the city. For more information on the project, to contribute, or to see more photos, visit SaveTheHorseFarm.com.
