Calling public opinion about Lawrence's proposed downtown shopping complex overwhelmingly negative, Mayor David Longhurst tried unsuccessfully to stop the project. The other city commissioners defeated his motion not to pursue the project with developer Sizeler Realty, of New Orleans. The vote was 3-2 with commissioner Mike Amyx siding with Longhurst.
