Proposed gas station near Four Corners area up for final vote Tuesday

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Good morning and welcome back to the Acadiana Business Newsletter. Let's get on to the headlines because your minutes, just like mine, are precious: 

Tim Mickal lives across the street from a site at the former Flowers Etc. property that could be converted into a convenience store with gas sales — if the Lafayette City Council OKs the plan during its meeting Tuesday. It's also a second time Mickal and others in the area have tried to stop a convenience store with gas sales coming into their neighborhood.

The proposal at 1803 W. University Ave. got voted down by Lafayette Consolidated Government's city zoning commission. The council will give the issue a final vote tonight after introducing it two weeks ago.

Read the full story here.

Have a great day and thanks for reading.
