We are focused on the revitalization of a diverse cultural district to

enhance innovative economic development through collaborative efforts.

Recognize downtown as the heart of Terrebonne

Parish by way of innovation and creative collaboration

through:

Revitalization of the historic nature through preservation and

rejuvenation of historical landmarks;

Stimulating pedestrian activity and interaction to provide a unique

and safe place.

Reconnecting the importance of downtown for all communities,

cultures, and heritages;

Creating collaborative artistic opportunities and encouraging artist

collaboration;

Drawing and arranging the blue prints that will lead to sustainable

economic development;

Creating new opportunities that support and encourage the active

involvement of community members; and

Forming a bridge that will allow family and friends of all generations

to reconnect with downtown Houma.
