What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          To finish up building expansion for the Senior Center. Capital Outlay project funding was insufficient to complete the project. Funds that are used to provide meals and services to Seniors of Madison Parish were used and funds are needed to continue these projects at current levels. Madison Parish is a poor parish and there are no outside resources to fund these projects.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          To serve the underserved community of Madison Parish. The seniors lack opportunities that are available in more urban areas. The Senior center needs to be designed and large enough to allow the senior activities. Meals and wellness programs are conducted here. There are no local groups or organizations that provide a location or services to the seniors of Madison.

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           the next calendar year.
