The push for master plan in 2015 had tracks back to 2014, but 2015 was a break-out year to turn an idea to plan the city’s growth into reality.

Talk of a master plan for Eunice elicited a sharp response from Jack Burson, alderman at-large, even as the council approved naming steering committee members by Aug. 18.
