Broussard is a city on the move. With new businesses opening, neighborhoods expanding, and families choosing to call our community home, the roads that connect us are more important than ever. That’s why the Broussard City Council, under the leadership of Mayor Ray Bourque, recently approved $1 million in funding for the first year of a comprehensive, 5-year road maintenance plan. This initiative marks a major investment in our city’s future, ensuring that Broussard continues to grow safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
The funding is based on a highly detailed, professional engineering report that evaluated the condition of every roadway in the city. The report shows encouraging results, most of Broussard’s roads are already in good condition, and the city is committed to keeping it that way. The new plan ensures that resources are used strategically, prioritizing maintenance where it’s most needed and preventing small issues from becoming costly repairs down the road.
This proactive approach is about more than just smoother rides; it’s about laying the groundwork for continued economic success. Well-maintained roads are essential to attracting new businesses, supporting local commerce, and encouraging residential growth. Businesses depend on reliable infrastructure to move goods, access customers, and provide quality service. Residents rely on safe, well-kept streets to get to work, school, and the places that make Broussard such a vibrant community.
By investing in our roadways today, Broussard is investing in tomorrow. Good infrastructure strengthens our local economy, enhances property values, and ensures that our growing population continues to enjoy a high quality of life. The road maintenance plan represents the city’s dedication to smart, forward-thinking development, the kind that not only supports growth but guides it responsibly.
As Mayor Ray Bourque has emphasized, Broussard’s success depends on planning ahead and taking care of what we’ve built. This initiative is a clear example of that commitment. By maintaining and improving our roadways, we’re ensuring that Broussard remains a city where families thrive, businesses prosper, and the community continues to move forward together.
