LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - The Lafayette Parish School Board’s property at the highly-trafficked corner of Ridge Road and Ambassador Caffery Parkway still is without a tenant.
The board’s recent second request for proposals to lease the property ended April 9 with only one proposal submitted, but the entry was submitted minutes after the deadline.
Matt Dugas, district finance director, tells The Advocate (https://bit.ly/QCf2LP ) an attorney advised him that the late proposal could be considered since there were two requests for proposals issued without a response.
Dugas said he hasn’t viewed the proposal and the interested party did not leave it at central office for review.
The board issued a request for proposals last year after receiving environmental clearance following the removal of underground gas storage tanks on the property.
