The ABC board licenses and regulates all businesses and individuals in the parish who sell, serve or dispense alcoholic beverages, including Central, Zachary, and Baker. The ABC board is also now responsible for enforcing Central’s recently adopted alcohol regulations. As the board is appointed at-large, Lauren is the only serving member who is a resident of Central. As such, Lauren will continue her commitment to the Central community and will represent the City’s best interest for a 4-year term.
