Amedisys Home Health and One Acadiana have teamed up with the Lafayette Council on Aging to host a fan drive to benefit the elderly members of the community to stay cool during the summer's heat.

The drive happened today from 7 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. at the One Acadiana Office, located on 804 East St. Mary Blvd. With temperatures soaring through the roof, their goal was to provide cooling aides to the elderly members and to assist with keeping them comfortable during the summer.

The elevated stretch of Interstate 49 along the edge of downtown Lafayette will be built “in most of your lifetimes” thanks to $200 million in one-time funding approved by the state legislature, one Lafayette lawmaker said.

Senate President Page Cortez, speaking during this morning’s legislative session recap put on by One Acadiana, said the money could keep the project moving and include funding to improve the bridge over the Vermilion River. The project will be kicked off in the spring of 2023, he said.
