The Mayor-President-elect says she plans to get input from citizens on three key issues.

Monique Boulet takes office in January, but plans three sessions next week to get comments from locals on: the I-49 Lafayette Connector, Revitalization and Housing, and LCG's Impact on Economic Growth.

"Soliciting input from the community on how to best handle these initiatives is not only crucial but forms the cornerstone of responsible governance," Boulet said. "I'm excited to have these conversations and many more throughout my administration."

Seating will be limited, and people interested in going are asked to RSVP as soon as possible, or arrive early to get a seat.

Here are the details on the three sessions:
