On Saturday, May 24th, Lafourche Parish President Archie Chaisson joined the Lafourche Roping Club, and Parish Councilmembers Armand Autin, D’Lynn Chiasson, Aaron “Bo” Melvin, and Terry Arabie for a ribbon cutting celebrating the completion of the new Lafourche Parish Agricultural Complex.
The previous agricultural facility was heavily damaged during Hurricane Ida. The newly completed 36,000 sqft, 1,400-seat new open-air rodeo arena offers ample space for all rodeo needs. This project also includes new ancillary concessions and restroom spaces. Total construction cost for all of the improvements at the Lafourche Parish Agricultural Complex totaled $4.5 million. Earlier in January, the Parish cut the ribbon on the new Show Barn. With the completion of the Rodeo Arena, Lafourche Parish residents have a new and safe Complex for all Agricultural showing needs.
Thank you to all who contributed to this important project, including our design consultant, DDG, and the contractor Foret Group. The Parish would also like to thank the local community for their patience during the reconstruction of this important community asset.
