The City of St. Martinville is applying for a grant program that may help in tearing down dilapidated residential and commercial properties in our city. If you're a property owner who can't afford to handle this on your own, the city might be able to assist!
Visit City Hall for a pre-application to see if your property qualifies. Remember, there are no income limits for this program. Join us for an open hearing on Tuesday, June 13th, at 4pm at City Hall to share your thoughts on this potential government-funded program.
This is a big step towards our ongoing effort to keep St. Martinville beautiful and safe. Let's continue working together to enhance our wonderful city. For more details, don't hesitate to contact us!

Great move for our city!
I don't live in Louisiana but I like reading about all of the updates you are doing for the city. I do enjoy visiting and learning more about my Chauvin family tree.
This is great!
