News & Updates for Tangipahoa Parish

Director of the Florida Parishes Arena Kelly Wells shares information about his brand new certification and details the upcoming events you can't miss during an interview with ActionNews17.com!

After some weather-related delays, the Wardline Road construction project starts gearing up again starting Monday, Jan. 14, and Tangipahoa Parish President Robby Miller reminds motorists to use care in that area.

Miller said that as early as 7:30 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 14, intermittent lane closures can be expected as construction crews begin the next phase of work on Wardline Road.

While the road will not be closed during this period, heavy equipment will be on and off the road at different times, and Miller said that will likely result in minor traffic delays.

The Florida Parishes' Human Services Authority Developmental Disabilities Services is hosting an employment fair and needs your help! Please consider having a booth at our upcoming Hammond fair in February.

This is going to be a great opportunity to meet awesome, hard working people who want nothing more than to provide a service through employment or volunteering. Don't miss out!
