Yet another tense moment in the Ruston council chambers last night as the council voted on the Silver Cloud Hotel Substantial Development Permit. Council Members Stebner and Albertson voted against, Hedrick and Huson voted in favor and Hunt abstained. That sent the tie-breaking vote to new mayor Hopkins. After much discussion, he voted in favor of the permit. Ruston will have a new hotel gracing its waterfront in a few short years.
I'll post more details from the meeting this weekend after I review the tape. In the meantime, Jim Wingard has posted his observations at Ruston Insider. One note though, future council meetings will held at the town hall on Winnifred Street so the town can rent out the council meeting room at the school. ~ Karen
