The Perkins Road overpass area is about see some changes- positive changes! In the next few weeks, construction will begin on Perkins Road at the Perkins Road Hardware building. The building, which caught fire in 2006 but was never revived, will be turned into a multi-use facility featuring an undisclosed New Orleans-area restaurant, a local gourmet pizzeria and four apartment units on second and third levels.

The Road is lined with a high concentration of local bars, restaurants and goods and service retailers, who will see its "namesake bridge" rehabilitated it’s “anchor” and the beginning of the redevelopment of the former Acadian Village shopping center.

A public meeting will be held May 28 to notify the community of the project, 80 percent of which will be funded by the federal government and 20 percent from the state.
