The Monroe News-Star backs the Downtown Washington Community Area Redevelopment Plan with two major aims: closing a floodwall gap via a Parkway-Levee along South Grand and constructing a Riverside Parkway Drive segment with federal financing totaling about $3.5 million. Voters face a special referendum Tuesday to authorize land acquisition and study funding, with outcomes shaping urban renewal and future housing efforts while avoiding local tax increases.
