ST. TAMMANY PARISH NEW DIRECTIONS 2040

New Directions 2040 is the Parish's plan to update a comprehensive plan for sustainable development in St. Tammany Parish.  President Cooper and the Parish Council have invited input from citizens and business owners relating to current and future development needs and issues with the goal of reaching a cohesive plan that will help guide the growth and development of the Parish.

The plan was kicked off late last fall through a series of open meetings; the New Directions 2040 website also offers a Visioning Survey as a forum for sharing ideas and opinions.  The Board has learned the deadline for citizens to utilize the Visioning Survey is this week; the survey will be taken down from the website as the process moves forward toward developing the comprehensive plan.  The website will remain active as an information tool but the survey will be taken down.

If any BLA Member has issues they feel are important to raise in the development of the comprehensive plan, the window to share your insight is closing quickly.  Please go to www.newdirections2040.com and click the button "Share Your Voice".  This will lead to the Ideas Wall and Visioning Survey link.  The survey is very quick to take, and you have the opportunity to enter your email address to be kept updated on developments with the comprehensive plan.  

Please note – although the Visioning Survey will be taken down from the website, this is not the end of the opportunities for citizens to share their input with the comprehensive plan process.  There will be public meetings throughout the planning process, and the BLA will keep you advised of upcoming meeting schedules.
