(Editor’s Note: The following is an announcement from Ville Platte Mayor Ryan LeDay Williams.)
I AM EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT TWO NEW BUSINESSES WILL SOON BE LOCATING WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF VILLE PLATTE. THE FIRST IS SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA (SWLA) CREDIT UNION, WHICH WILL PROVIDE OUR CITIZENS WITH ACCESS TO ALL THE BENEFITS OF A CREDIT UNION. SWLA CREDIT UNION WILL BE LOCATING IN THE OLD CITY HALL BUILDING. WHEN CEO CHAD MILLER REACHED OUT WITH INTEREST IN COMING TO VILLE PLATTE, I ASSURED HIM THAT I WOULD DO WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN – AND MY WORD IS MY BOND. THE MERGER IS COMPLETE, AND THEY WILL BE OPENING SOON.
THE SECOND BUSINESS IS WAFFLE HOUSE. LAST YEAR, I REACHED OUT TO CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO CONSIDER VILLE PLATTE. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION AND PRAYER, I RECEIVED A CALL TWO WEEKS AGO CONFIRMING THAT THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO FINALIZING A DEAL. THEIR REAL ESTATE TEAM IS NARROWING DOWN THE SITE SELECTION AND EXPECTS TO HAVE A FINAL LOCATION WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO. THIS IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT STEP FOR OUR CITY, SHOWING THAT WE ARE GROWING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
