Khaki,
 
why not buy the property directly from your neighbor- faster and then it is
immediately yours.  If you wait for the LRA process, I can assure you that
it will take some time.
 
The Redevelopment Commission is in the process of setting a policy that we
will present to the LRA as a way to receive properties and use them for
public uses or put them back into commerce.  There are still many questions
about the ownership of the property between the state and the parish and who
actually will sell and where proceeds go, etc.
 
As our plan is completed we will make the local process known, contingent
upon the cooperation of the LRA and the Louisiana Housing Trust.
 
God Bless,
Craig

My neighbor is turning his property on Plaza Drive to the state.  I'd like
to 
know how I could get info on purchasing this property from the State in
order to 
have a larger lot and how long before the state would be willing to sell to 
neighbors remaining in the community.  I want to get started rebuilding but 
plans on how to build would certainly change if we were able to get a larger

lot.  I have gotten in touch w/my neighbor and he said he'd notify the state

when they sell to LRA.  

Are we supposed to let it be known that we'd be interested in such a
purchase?  
Please advise.

Hopefully it won't be like most things and take forever to come to fruition.

We'd like to start in the very near future.
