“These are special projects, it’s a marina, it’s maybe pedestrian paths, gateway signage into Downtown West Monroe. The marina will be constructed very soon were just waiting on the river to get down to 22 feet and that’s been paid for 100% through private contributions through the “Picture This, Our Time Is Now Campaign,” said Staci Mitchell the West Monroe Mayor.
