Medline had plans to build a medical equipment distribution company south of Covington. Many homeowners are up in arms about the prospect of such a project being in their community. Judge Reginald Badeaux of the 22nd Judicial District has thrown out the lawsuit filed by a group of residents.
January 12, 2021, the judge upheld the council’s vote to rezone the property for the distribution center. The 70 acres between Interstate 12 and Ochsner Boulevard will be the first project of its kind in the area. Residents are concerned that the project will cause traffic and drainage issues. There is also concern that the project will need its own comprehensive zoning plan.
Many in the parish are hopeful that the original plan to build a 1-million-square-foot center in St. Tammany will still happen. Bruce Wainer of All State Financial Company owns the property and feels the judge made the right decision. He states the decision was “a matter of fact and a matter of law — I think the judge ruled correctly.” St. Tammany Parish Council Chairman Mike Lorino is also in agreement with the judge’s decision and feels the Parish Council did everything correctly in its handling of the rezoning and acted reasonably.
Not all leaders in the community are for the judges ruling. Nancy Wagner, president of the Flower Estates Civic Association is part of those who appeal the ruling. “We have said from the beginning when the council approved the…rezoning without following the law that we would continue to pursue all legal options,” Wagner said in a text message. “We are disappointed that the ruling today mistakenly denies residents a full judicial review of our factual and legal arguments.”
As Baby Boomers are now seniors, Council on Aging St. Tammany (COAST) believes there is a need for a new senior center in the village. COAST Executive Director Julie Agan and board member Bill Magee explain that the organization has several temporary locations that are not really working that they have been operating out of. COAST lost its permanent location six years ago.
The Folsom Board of Aldermen and Mayor Lance Willie opened a discussion with COAST at their latest meeting. During the meeting, both Agan and Magee proposed that COAST builds a permanent facility on village property. In return for its investment in the building, COAST would have primary use of it on weekdays for at least 30 years. The village would in turn own the building and the land and have use of it at other times when COAST is not using the facility.
The draft cooperative endeavor agreement between COAST and the Folsom Board, would be funded by COAST and possibly funded by the Northshore Community Foundation, the Northshore Homebuilders Association and the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office. Mayor Willie believes that the village-owned lot on Railroad Ave across from the first station would be the proposed location. The village attorney, Roy Burns, will work on a draft agreement between the village and COAST.
