Fiscal Year Accomplishments
|
The City of Slidell is enjoying the success and growth of its projects and events, which effectively enhance the beauty and enjoyment of the City for citizens and visitors alike. Olde Towne is quaint and scenic, with newly refurbished bricked sidewalks, old-fashioned streetlights, and beautiful parks. It provides a fitting backdrop for “brown bag” concerts, antique fairs, Christmas Under the Stars, and Slidell’s own Heritage Festival, to name a few.
