Welcome to the official website for Zachary.  One of my goals as Mayor of Zachary is to move Zachary forward with transparency and innovation.  We feel this updated website will ensure a collaborative relationship between the government and all residents of Zachary.

 

The City of Zachary offers the convenience of a metropolitan area with all the charm of small-city living.  This growing community topped the list this year among Louisiana cities, with the highest annual  household  estimated income of $74,553. With quality education its priority, the Zachary Independent School District has been ranked first in the state for six consecutive years.  A popular attraction for all residents is the City-operated Zachary Youth Park Complex.  Two new BREC Parks, the proposed Zachary Community Park and the Flanacher Road Soccer Park, all provide additional recreational facilities. Infra-structure projects planned to begin this year totaling some $12M are designed to ensure that sewerage, drainage and utility improvements meet projected future needs well ahead of schedule.  Zachary’s state-of-the art medical facility, Lane Regional Medical Center, was recently awarded the prestigious Pathway to Excellence Designation, identifying them as “One of the Best Places for Nurses to Work.”

 

Retail business is thriving and the “Buy Zachary First Initiative” was instituted to provide for the expansion of Zachary’s economy, encouraging business and economic growth. With the new Mississippi River- Audubon Bridge opening soon, connecting East with West, both Highways 61 and 64 should flourish, providing a corridor for both residential and commercial growth. Zachary’s Police are well staffed, trained and equipped and are credited for its low crime rate. The Fire Department boasts a Class 2 Fire Rating, which keeps property insurance rates low. A community Museum, located within the Zachary Historic District, offers tours and provides a rare look at neighborhood life on Main Streets of long ago.

 

We hope this website serves as a useful tool to assist and inform you about our local government and its daily operations.   Zachary is one of the fastest growing small cities in Louisiana and offers an affordable, comfortable and secure lifestyle. I feel that Zachary is a great place to work, raise a family, and call home.

 

Sincerely,

Mayor David Amrhein
