More Delays In Finding Sites For The ARC And Vacherie Senior Center

The St. James Parish Department of Human Resources (DHR) continues to face challenges in finding a new location for the Vacherie Senior Center and the St. James ARC. Both facilities were destroyed by Hurricane Ida last summer. The Office of Public Health has stringent permitting guidelines for ARCs. DHR Director Ingrid Bergeron earlier said previous attempts to locate in the West Bank Reception Hall were not approved because of issues with the sewer system. The New Hope International Church building was denied and so was another building owned by the church that was previously used as an adult daycare center because there is no dumpster pad. The Diamond Center was also denied because of the sewer system.
