Good morning, Lake Charles.

On Tuesday in Lake Charles, sponsors of this year’s St. Jude Dream Home signed the foundation in the Terre Sainte subdivision — they left their names and well wishes for the future winner.

The completed home is estimated to be worth $575,000.

Lake Charles police said that on July 27 officers responded to a shooting on the 2400 block of Anita Drive where three people were shot at and one was hit, and bullets struck a nearby home; the injured person suffered non-life-threatening wounds and has not cooperated as police ask anyone with information to call (337-491-1311).

The Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance has launched a survey for residents from Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, and Jeff Davis parishes to share ideas for boosting economic opportunities.

CEO Scott Walker said survey results will guide a strategic plan that aims to create more jobs and attract investment— the plan is expected by January.

Louisiana will expand its SNAP produce credit program to Calcasieu, Jackson, Rapides, Terrebonne and Lafayette parishes so SNAP recipients shopping at participating Walmart stores will get a 30% refund on fresh fruits and vegetables — the credit is capped at $25 per month.
