Will the Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Detective Unit locate in cultural center?

Is it possible that the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Detective Unit will relocate to the cultural and historical center in the old library in downtown Abbeville? Not if a group of concerned Vermilion Parish residents has anything to say about it.
For the past few years, tenants in the former Hibernia Bank building on Charity Street have housed the Sheriff’s detective unit, located on the second and third floors of the old bank building.
The Vermilion Parish Police Jury owns the building and allocates approximately $20,000 each month for its upkeep, although it does not receive any rental income from the tenants.
Consequently, over the past year, the police jury has directed the tenants residing in the building to seek alternative accommodations, as it intends to sell the old Hibernia building.
The sole remaining tenant is the detective unit, but locating a new building in Abbeville for them has proven to be quite challenging.
For the past decade, the cultural center has been leased by the city of Abbeville, and in February, the lease expired. The police jury reached out to Sheriff Eddie Langlinais regarding the potential relocation of the detective unit to the two-story cultural center.
Last week, two deputies from the Sheriff’s office measured the Cultural Center building to assess its square footage and evaluate whether it would be a suitable location for relocation.
It was during this time that members of the cultural center, along with the tourism department, became aware of the ongoing discussions between the Sheriff’s Office and the Police Jury.
At Wednesday’s police jury meeting, the cultural and historical center was a topic on the agenda. Members from the Giant Omelette Celebration, along with other organizations that use the cultural and historical center, attended the police jury meeting to object to the closure of the cultural and historical center and the relocation of the Sheriff’s office into the building.
For the last 20 years, the Giant Omelette Celebration has used the cultural and historical center as its headquarters for meetings.
 “It would be devastating to the Giant Omelette celebration,” said Meg Hebert, treasurer of the organization.
“Moving out of this building would truly destroy everything that hundreds of us civic people, civic citizens of the city of Abbeville and parish, have worked towards,” said  Elray Schexnaider, who has been with the Giant Omelette Celebration since Day 1. “It is beyond my comprehension why y’all would make us move out of the building.”
Bonnie Broussard, a high-ranking member of the Omelette Celebration, added, “I do not like the Sheriff’s Office being downtown.”
The police jury has decided to allow Abbeville Mayor Roslyn White six months to explore alternative options for finding a building for the Sheriff’s Detective Unit. In the meantime, the cultural and historical center will continue to operate.
Neither Mayor White nor any members of the city council attended the meeting of the police jury.
