Planning group is lacking leverage

August 08, 2011 Angel Haney

Some less-than-kind comments about Minden have sparked controversy throughout the parish, and left some people confused about the function of the Main-to-Main Planning Committee.

At the July Main-to-Main meeting, committee members wanted to change the I-20 exit that visitors take to start the Main-to-Main trail in the south end of the parish. Cindy Richardson of Sarepta said the current exit (Exit 47) leads visitors through a "trashy" part of Minden before getting them to the Main-to-Main event.
