Mandeville’s City Council heard from citizens and the team behind a proposed lakefront development in a special meeting as the project approaches a final vote.
Sucette Harbor, if approved by the council, would bring 200 senior living apartments, a hotel, a restaurant, an event space, and a marina to around 15 acres of vacant land in the Mariner’s Village area just east of the Causeway.
The project has faced complaints from residents in and around Mariner’s Village, who contend the scale of the proposed development does not fit with the neighborhood and, if it is approved by council, would negatively impact their quality of life.
One councilman said a vote could come as soon as the next special meeting, scheduled for next Thursday, June 29. After that meeting, another special meeting has been called for July 12 at 6 p.m. at Spitzfaden Community Center, assuming a vote does not happen next Thursday.
