The next council meeting will be on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at 6:00 PM.
DOTD advises motorists that there will be rolling lane closures of LA 409 (Liberty Road) from LA 37 (Greenwell Springs Road) to the East Feliciana Parish line and LA 37 (Greenwell Springs Road) from Central Throughway to the East Feliciana Parish line, starting Tuesday, November 11th and ending Saturday, November 15th.
Weather permitting, the closures will occur at the following times:
• Tuesday, November 11th through Saturday, November 15th; each day from 8:00AM to 3:00PM
The lane closures are necessary for rumble strips and related work.
The vision has always been to create a building that meets all the needs of our citizens when it comes to city government. The goal was a fully planned, park-like development at the corner—something functional, welcoming, and reflective of our community’s pride.
City Hall needed to look like City Hall, just as the School System’s building needed to represent education. The columns give it that stately presence, and the signage truly makes it stand out.
Have you noticed the progress at City Hall?
City Hall will be closed on Tuesday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day.
The City of Central invites you to come together as we honor the brave men and women who have served our country. 🇺🇸✨
This special ceremony will include guest speakers, patriotic music, and a moment of remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Bring your family, friends, and neighbors as we pay tribute to our veterans and celebrate their service and dedication to our nation.
Let’s show our appreciation and Central pride. We hope to see you there! ❤️💙

🐾 Pets: Bring them inside or make sure they have warm, dry shelter.
🌿 Plants: Cover or move sensitive plants indoors to prevent frost damage.
🚰 Pipes: Wrap exposed pipes and let faucets drip to prevent freezing.
A little preparation now can save a lot of trouble later! Stay warm and stay safe, Central! 💙🧣

This will be the first big cold snap of the season, so take a moment to use space heaters safely:
✅ Keep at least 3 feet of space around your heater.
🚫 Never use grills, stoves, or outdoor heaters indoors as they can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
⚠️ Always turn off heaters before leaving the room or going to bed.
Bundle up, Central! The chill is on the way! ❄️💨 Stay safe, stay warm, and take care of each other out there.
