Quick Facts

FOLC was founded in 2006. We have been advocating to preserve and revitalize the Lafitte Corridor and adjacent neighborhoods via the creation of a greenway. Read about our mission.

The City of New Orleans has contracted with Design Workshop to plan, design and construct a greenway in the Lafitte Corridor.

The official project website is: LafitteCorridorConnection.com.

Support for Adaptive Reuse

Friends of Lafitte Corridor recently wrote letters of support for two local endeavors which would bring existing structures in the Lafitte Corridor back into productive use. St. Margaret’s is working to convert the defunct Lindy Boggs Medical Center (formerly Mercy) into senior living and medical facilities. Broad Community Connections hopes to convert the dormant grocery at Broad and Bienville into a grocery, urban farm, and commercial food service kitchen. FOLC enthusiastically supports both these projects. For more information, download PDF files of the letters (St. Margarets, BCC).
