Abbeville upgrades City Hall phone system

Tue, 10/24/2017 - 10:15am

Attempting to get through to Abbeville City Hall has become much easier.
Abbeville officials recently had a new phone system installed at City Hall. The main number for the city is (337) 893-8550. When citizens called that number on the previous system, an automated process required several steps to get through to various departments.
“The City of Abbeville had been using a phone system that was old, inefficient, cumbersome and most of all frustrating to city employees and especially our citizens,” Councilman Brady Broussard Jr. said.

“Ever since I joined the marching band,” Kim said, “I had this passion to become a drum major.”
Kim’s years of work and patience have paid off, as she is now the drum major, the leader of the Abbeville High band.

Vermilion Oaks Country Club in Abbeville to suspend operations on Oct. 29

Tue, 10/17/2017 - 10:56am

What has been a fixture in the lives of so many in Vermilion Parish for nearly nine decades will be taking a leave at the end of October.
The owners of Vermilion Oaks Country Club in Abbeville, formerly the Abbeville Country Club, have announced their intention to suspend operations on Oct. 29, 2017. The duration of the suspension has not been set.
The course originally opened in 1929 as a nine-hole course, expanding to 18 holes in 1996.
The Broussard family took over operation of the course in 2015. Outside factors have had an impact during the past couple of years.
