Check the current public record before you act.

Hearing dates, case numbers, and locations can change. Verify the latest official parish agenda, packet, and meeting notice before attending or submitting public comment.

RRI tracks land-use proposals and broader planning concerns in the KeepBushRural record. Current issue pages distinguish active cases from archived topics and link the best available source.

2026 planning record

Three community ideas under consideration.

These ideas are part of RRI's 2026 planning record. Each remains exploratory until RRI publishes supporting records for funding, permitting, or implementation.

Exploratory

Community playground

The concept is to secure land and grants for a safe, accessible, nature-centered playground for Bush families.

Exploratory

Welcome signage

The concept is to place professional welcome signs at key entries to strengthen community identity.

Exploratory

Drainage audit

The concept is to pursue an independent hydrological study of the Bogue Chitto basin and upstream flooding risk.
