The Lafayette Utilities System (LUS) plans to host two events later this month to discuss plans to demolish and rebuild the Bonin power plant.

The first event is set for Monday, February 26, between 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Lafayette Main Library, and the second is set for Wednesday, February 28, between 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the South Regional Library.

A release states that LUS officials will present information about the comprehensive plan to demolish, remove, and redevelop the Louis “Doc” Bonin Electric Generating station with a modern, energy-efficient plant and state-of-the-art operations center.
