Yet amid this growth, maintaining LaSalle’s essence remains paramount. “We want to preserve those things that people love about our community,” Meloche emphasizes, citing green spaces, trails, and recreational facilities as non-negotiable.“It’s all those things that we’re going to continue to work on as a team to make sure that we can stay in LaSalle, the community that everyone loves.” Infrastructure challenges persist, particularly in securing funding for regional stormwater solutions, but the Town approaches these hurdles with determination. As LaSalle evolves, its leadership remains committed to thoughtful progress that honors the past while building for the future. As Meloche reflects, even as the Town evolves, maintaining “that small town feel, even though we’re not a small Town any longer” remains a priority. With strategic projects serving both current residents and future generations, LaSalle is crafting a model for sustainable suburban growth that celebrates community at every turn. 128 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 05
