Groups ask Lafayette City Council to seek public input, site proposals for new performing arts center

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor

Good morning, Acadiana. Let's get down to business this morning.

The leaders of seven Lafayette organizations are calling for public discussion and additional site possibilities for a proposed new performing arts center to replace the Heymann Performing Arts Center. The groups sent a letter to the City Council on Wednesday, less than a week after the Lafayette Consolidated Government administration issued a news release announcing a tentative agreement between the city and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to lease university-owned property at the corner of Cajundome Boulevard and Congress Street for $1 a year for a new performing arts center.
