NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana is steps closer to getting a new city.
The Louisiana Supreme Court ruled 4-3 on Friday in favor of the proposed City of St. George, saying organizers followed the proper process for incorporation, overturning rulings by lower courts. The state’s highest court ruled that St. George’s plan for incorporation was reasonable and would be able to provide its residents with proper public services, The Advocate reported.
At a news conference Monday, St. George organizers said work is already underway on building out the new city government, the Advocate reported.
In 2020, the state Legislature created a five-member St. George Transition District that will serve as the taxing authority until an election is held to impose its municipal tax. Gov. Jeff Landry will select an interim mayor along with five council members. Following the first term, St. George residents will vote for its leaders.
