The Orleans Audubon Society and nearly 70 other concerned citizens have filed a petition seeking the right to appeal St. Tammany Parish Planning Commission’s vote to develop property in the parish for manufacturing and industry purposes. The petition alleges that constituents were blocked from formally appealing the commission’s vote to the Parish Council. Opponents of the plan are concerned about the loss of green space, a potential increase in flooding, and a surge of traffic in and around the relatively quiet communities.
