Reminder!
You may have noticed Cleco has crews working around town. They are currently trimming trees near power lines and replacing some electrical poles as part of system maintenance and safety improvements.
We appreciate your patience while this important work is being completed.
There will be a representative coming by to conduct a survey that will help the city qualify for a grant needed to complete repairs on a water tower. Your participation is greatly appreciated. We kindly ask that you take a few minutes to complete the survey when the representative stops by.
Thank you for your time
Mayor Jones was honored to take part in the 60th celebration of the Foster Grandparents Program, recognizing the incredible individuals who serve in our Desoto Parish schools. The event, held on October 24th, was a testament to the dedication and love the Foster Grandparents pour into our students everyday. They were celebrated by community leaders, the Mansfield High School Band and were presented with Louisiana Volunteer Service Awards by the Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana. Their service continues to make a lasting difference in the lives of our children and our community.

Per KTBS- "A section of a highway between Interstate 49 and Mansfield will reopen Monday; however, another part will close for two weeks.
That means motorists driving state Highway 175 still won't be able to travel the entire route just yet. But state highway officials say the roadway is scheduled to reopen as planned at month's end.
Meanwhile, motorists will have to detour again to allow contractors to move to a second location about 2.9 miles south of the Relay Station to repair a headwall at a box culvert.
A separate section of the highway in the Holly area has been closed since the end of August to allow for culvert work.
Highway 175 is expected to be fully open to traffic on Sept. 30 even as the asphalt overlay portion of the work continues.
The work is in conjunction with a $11.2 million project to improve a 10.5-mile section of Highway 175 from Mansfield to the Kingston community. The work began in May and is expected to be completed in the spring.
The project includes full-depth repairs to address the roadway base at various locations, milling to remove the old asphalt, new asphalt paving on the entire project length, and permanent signage and roadway striping."
Please be advised that effective OCTOBER 1, 2025, the trash collection schedule for your area will change.
Current schedule: Tuesdays & Thursdays
New Schedule: WEDNESDAYS
This adjustment is part of our ongoing efforts to improve service efficiency and provide better support for residents. Please ensure your trash is placed out on Wednesday to be picked up.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Ronnie Morris at 318-481-9200.
Thank you,

The City of Mansfield is proud to announce the Property Insurance Association of Louisiana (PIAL) has officially upgraded Mansfield’s Public Protection Classification (PPC) from Class 4 to Class 3! This is an advancement that reflects years of dedicated service, strategic planning, and investment in fire protection and infrastructure. Notably, the city was once rated Class 6. This latest upgrade marks a significant leap forward and demonstrates the city's steady progress in protecting lives and property. Effective September 1, 2025, the new Class 3 rating will apply to all qualifying properties within the corporate limits of Mansfield, potentially reducing fire insurance rates for both residential and commercial property owners. “Our goal is to achieve Class 1 over the next five years,” said Mayor Thomas Jones.
Tune in tonight at 6 p.m. today, KSLA (12) and also KTAL (6) for the interviews and details.
