Council Adopts Envision Jefferson 2020
The Land Use and Transportation Elements of the Plan establish comprehensive growth strategies to guide future development and redevelopment and overcome past mistakes and incompatibilities. Based on a series of Goals and Objectives, the Plan sets forth over two hundred Policies that establish a framework to guide planning and development actions in the Parish over the next twenty years. The adoption of the Plan is a major step forward in sound development planning and comes at a time when an explosion of growth can be anticipated on the West Bank as the Huey P. Long Bridge is expanded. The opportunities for planned communities, business parks, golf communities and mixed-use areas are all more realistic with the Council’s action. The Council, Mr. Coulon’s administration, the Steering Committee and the hundreds of citizen volunteers should be applauded for the years of hard work that reached fruition on August 6, 2003. Jefferson Parish will be a better place to live and work because of their efforts. To view the Ordinance adopted by the Council, click here. (PDF) To view the Plan, please click here. |

At
their August 6, 2003 meeting, the Jefferson Parish Council unanimously
adopted the Land Use and Transportation Elements of the Parish’s
first-ever Comprehensive Plan. With the support of the Parish’s
major business and civic groups, the Council adopted the Plan by
ordinance, giving the Plan the authority of law. This strong authority
requires that future Plan changes be advertised and considered only
after following the established public hearing process.
