Lafayette, LA – Mayor-President Boulet has elected to veto City Ordinance No. CO-066-2024, adopted by the Lafayette City Council on June 18, 2024. The ordinance granted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), with conditions, to authorize a convenience store with gasoline sales on the property located at 1803 W. University Avenue.

"My greatest concern is not with the property owner but with the allowance for gasoline sales on the property," says Boulet. "It’s important that we maintain the established character and quality of life within this neighborhood and this proposed development impedes that from happening. I encourage and support the development of this proposed business less the option to sell fuel."
