From public notices:

Holiday Tuesday

Officials remind that public and parochial schools are closed Tuesday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day, as are most government entities.

Rezoning request

The Alexandria Zoning Commission is asked to rezone 1734 Albert Street from SF-Single Family District to B-3 General Business.

Catherine Davidson and Sarah Hopper seek the designation to allow operation of a business on the site, which is about a block from Bolton Avenue.

New town hall

Boyce officials have voted to begin the process for building a new town hall.

Pan American Engineers has been authorized to begin the application process for grant funding of 75 percent of the cost.

Several federal or state programs offer such assistance.

Sugar, sugar

Kent Plantation House’s annual Sugar Day is Saturday from 9 until 4. 

Arts, crafts, music, food, and games supplement the main event – recreating the sugar-making process of old. 

The site is on Bayou Rapides Road just west of MacArthur Drive.
