On Monday, the Lafayette Airport Commission will review parking management proposals.
A selection committee is scheduled to meet at 10 a.m. to discuss recommendations.
The airport has previously experienced record-breaking travel demand, which has overwhelmed its parking capacity and filled up all short- and long-term lots. In May, officials opened temporary overflow parking off Borman Drive to accommodate the increased demand from travelers.

According to organizers, the ceremony will feature a wreath presentation, community partners, and a proclamation from Mayor-President Monique B. Boulet.
