Revitalizing Downtown: A Step Toward the Future

In a recent City Council Meeting on March 19th, a significant decision was made that promises to shape the future of downtown Abbeville. After careful consideration, the council voted in favor of advancing the construction of road repairs and improvements that are poised to rejuvenate the heart of our city.

The project aims to improve many of the primary roads through downtown. These include North State Street and North Saint Charles, the roads around the courthouse square like Peace Street and Tivoli Street, Concord Street, all the roads around Magdalen Square, and Pere Megret, up to its intersection with Main Street.
