Councilman Kevin in the News

Cheers

Welcome to office -- Kevin Voisin became the Terrebonne Parish Council’s newest member this week when he was sworn in to serve out the remainder of Leland Robichaux’s term in office.

Robichaux died of cancer in June.

Voisin is just 33 years old, but he is vice president of marketing for Motivatit Seafood. We hope he will bring a youthful energy to a difficult and often-thankless position that is nonetheless crucial to the future of the parish.

Terrebonne faces difficult issues such as coastal erosion, protecting ourselves from flooding and planning for future growth.

“The greatest asset of Terrebonne Parish is its people,” Voisin said. “We have known for a long time we’ve got what we need. We’ve just got to put it in action.”

Voisin’s district includes southwest Terrebonne Parish, Donner, Gibson, parts of Schriever, Bayou Black and neighborhoods between La. 311 and Bayou Black Drive.
