AHTD sets October 27 hearing on its proposed 2027 operating budget

The Abbeville Harbor and Terminal District has set a public hearing on its proposed 2027 operating-fund budget for Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 5 p.m., according to public notice 654597, published October 10 and checked October 14. The notice places the hearing at the AHTD office, 124 North State Street, Suite 100, in Abbeville.

The same notice says the proposed budget is available for public inspection. Residents can use the hearing time and office location to plan attendance and ask the district about inspecting the proposal.

The district's official governance page, checked October 14, 2026, identifies it as a local political subdivision governed by commissioners and says its primary funding comes from land leases at the port and millage-tax revenue. The board governs the Port of Vermilion and other district assets, connecting its operating budget to public facilities, lease revenue and tax-supported operations.
