Young people will present ideas for civic projects

The 26th New Generation Forum will be held Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Morgan City High School Multipurpose Building.
The event gathers students representing schools across the parish who will present ideas to better the area.
“Our young generations come up with great ideas,” Morgan City Councilman Tim Hymel said during Tuesday’s monthly meeting. Hymel also serves as Morgan City High School’s principal.
He noted the city’s dog park is an idea that came out of the New Generations Forum.
The event is open to the public, but it will be limited to 300 people due to COVID-19 regulations, according to a St. Mary Chamber of Commerce release on the event. Those attending are asked to wear masks.
The event is sponsored by the Morgan City Rotary Club.
