Mayor-president's veto stands on old Flowers Etc. site

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Good morning, all you Acadiana Business newsletter readers. On to some quick headlines: 

We appear to have a finality in the matter of the developer who wants to put in a convenience store with gasoline pumps at the former Flowers Etc. building on University Avenue.

After Mayor-President Monique Boulet vetoed the city council's approval, council members could not enact an override on the matter.

So unless the owner goes to court with the matter -- similar to the Glomax project, which a judge tossed out -- the matter is settled and the project will go forward as a convenience store.

You can read the  full story here.

Have a great day and thanks for reading.
