Hai Khau holds up a sign saying he scored a 36 on his ACT test.
Abbeville High School junior Hai Khau retook the ACT and now has a perfect composite score of 36.
Khau retook the test at school and recently got his score. Because he already had a 34, he wasn’t nervous and was able tolift his Math score to a 35 to go along with his 35 in Science, 36 in Reading and 36 in English.
Francis Plaisance will be back on the Abbeville City Council.
If Francis Plaisance is looking to see what put him over the top by one vote in the District B Councilman race in Abbeville, all he has to do is look at one precinct that only had two people vote for the council race.
Plaisance, in probably the closest election in Vermilion Parish in years, won by only one vote, 153-152 to win the District B Abbeville council seat over Rachel Touchet Mouton.
District B consists of eight precincts, and early voting. Out of the eight precincts, two did not have any vote for the council race.
This building was one of the first rice mills built in Abbeville in the early 1900s. Developers are looking at making this four-story building along the Vermilion River a new hotel.
This is the side of the old mill that may be turned in a hotel.
This brick is more than 120 years old.
The front of the old packing plant could one day be an outdoor venue to be rented for weddings and concerts.
In the next couple of years, Abbeville is expected to see the opening of a historic-looking hotel and a spacious 10,000-square-foot indoor venue connected to the hotel that can be used for weddings and concerts.
At Wednesday’s Abbeville Rotary Club meeting, Brad Colgin, owner of The Colgin Companies LLC in Lafayette, informed Rotarians on the gameplan for the old Riviana Rice Mill in Abbeville.
In December of 2023, Earl “Boo” Landry of Erath purchased the rice mill from Riviana and named it “Rice Quarter LLC.”
Here is one sugar kettle located downtown Abbeville.
No, a black pot cook-off is not about to pop up in downtown Abbeville.
Visitors and drivers will now notice several sugar kettles placed throughout the area. These kettles, serving as flower pots, are situated on traffic islands around Magdalen Square.
“The city decided to add Sugar Kettles with landscaping to the newly completed downtown overlay project,” Councilman Brady Broussard Jr. said.
“Placement of the kettles can now be seen on the various brick islands in our historic downtown.”
There is now a note on the Abbeville City Hall door explaining how to get into city hall.
Visitors must press a doorbell to enter Abbeville City Hall since the doors are locked. Abbeville Mayor Roslyn White explained the reason for the new system implementation.
Starting this month, when visitors arrive at city hall, they will have to ring a doorbell and then explain what their business is.
A person in city hall is able to see and speak to the person at the front door using the newly installed Ring Doorbell Camera.
