Ascension Parish Council approves condemnation of Donaldsonville property at 1540 Highway 308 South

The Ascension Parish Council voted on April 2, 2026, to approve condemnation of property at 1540 Highway 308 South in Donaldsonville after parish staff presented the case and said the owner had submitted a letter of no objection.

Patrice Johnson, a parish staff member who introduced the item, told the council the presentation and said, “We do have a letter of no objection from the property owner.” A council member moved to proceed and the motion was seconded; the chair asked for objections, heard none and recorded the measure as moved.

The council did not record a roll-call vote on the transcript; the chair’s remarks indicate the motion advanced by voice with no objections. The transcript does not specify the reason for the condemnation beyond the staff presentation, and no public speakers addressed the item during the recorded discussion.

Next steps were not specified on the record at the time the motion was moved.
