The Quaint Village of Folsom To Get A Face Lift

Folsom is a quaint village located close to the city of New Orleans. Located just 12 miles north of Covington, the village sits among rolling hills and towering pines.
Some streets and homes in the village boundaries need some TLC.

Mayor Lance Willie and the village’s Board of Alderman are producing a plan of action to remedy the rundown conditions of some properties and streets in the area. The Mayor says there are some trailer parks with deteriorated homes with trash piled all around them.

The Mayor believes that the problem stems for the lack of board power to take remedial action. The village’s code of ordinances needs to be revised. Willie will work with village attorney Roy Burns to draft an ordinance pertaining to the issue.

As for cost, Aldorwomen Jill Mathies does not see how Folsom will pay for street repairs since the village does not collect a property tax. The Mayor plans to ask for help for the parish and state officials.

As for now, the board approved a purchase of an excavator for the village maintenance department.
