LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - The mayor of Lake Charles held what's referred to as a 'listening session' Wednesday evening. A large crowd gathered to listen and talk about issues related to downtown development as well as historic and cultural districts.

Among those on hand was a store manager looking for specifics on the development of the Lake Charles lakefront.

"There's been so much talk about developing it and all the ideas, but nothing has been set in stone about what's going to be happening with it. I'm hoping Nick Hunter has a better concrete plan", said Georgina Graves, a Lake Charles business manager.

The session was a partnership between the Downtown Business Authority and the Downtown Development Authority.
