Delcambre — By passing the Oct. 17 property tax, Iberia Parish and Vermilion Parish voters enabled the commissioners of the Twin Parish Port of Delcambre to jump-start an initiative to revitalize the local economy with the launching of a direct marketing campaign and seafood retail Web site on May 1.
The ad valorum millage — a 4 mill tax levied on property owners within the port district that straddles the Iberia-Vermilion parish line at Delcambre — will generate an estimated $303,238 in revenue over the next 10 years for the port.
The project includes converting the port’s northern pier into a marina, expanding the southern pier to accommodate around 50 boats and launching a direct marketing program and Web site on May 1 that will lead to the eventual establishment of an on-site seafood market.
