– The St. Martin Parish Council’s combined Public Works and Administrative/Finance Committees considered the adoption of an ordinance amending its zoning ordinances to allow Acadiana Waste Services to build a recycling center at 1471 Old Spanish Trail Highway.

The zoning ordinance would be changed from I-1 (light industrial) to I-3 (heavy industrial restricted). The planning commission recommended approving the change, with conditions, at its Jan. 26 meeting.

Jennifer Stelly, executive director of the St. Martin Economic Development Authority, said SMEDA did an economic impact study on the proposed facility.
