As a resident of Watson since 1994, I have seen a tremendous growth in the community with people and development.  Since 1994 Watson has developed many businesses such as resturants, strip malls, additional elementary schools, several named subdivisions, and even top named stores.  When I first became a resident of this remarkable community, there was only a 2 lane highway(hwy.16), a one diamond ballpark, and barely no businesses.  Now, Watson has a 4 lane highway from Denham Springs into Watson, a newer and larger ballpark facility, and several of the finest subdivisions such as Easterly Lakes, Lakes at Belle Terre, Oak Hills, and several more in development.  I am a very proud resident of this fast growing community as well as Livingston Parish. I am also proud to serve this area with... 02/25/2009

Yesterday President Obama signed into effect the Economic Stimulus Act.  A portion of that is targeted to help the failing housing market and stabilize values in neighborhoods, by giving first time homebuyers a tax credit.  Some Things to Know:  (1) First Time Homebuyers for Principal Residence (2) Calendar year 2009 only  (3)There are Income Limits. (4) It's Refundable even if you don't have that much tax liability (5) Buyers have to own the home for at least 3 years or return the credit if they sell early.  While more details of this opportunity will be forthcoming, here's a summary to get you started planning from U.S.News and World Report's Luke Mullins. Don't wait!  With record low interest rates combined with this tax incentive, there's never been a better time to own your first ... 02/18/2009
