Parish group backs site for new Tangipahoa animal shelter
A parish committee has selected a proposed site for a new Tangipahoa animal shelter and will submit a formal recommendation to the Parish Council this month. The land is owned by the parish, and officials say the Florida Parishes Regional Landfill near Independence is not the choice. The shelter is needed after the Hammond facility closed in 1988 and early plans to temporarily reopen it were dropped due to stray problems near the old site.
