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.

Charles Little’s Greenways for America describes a remarkable citizen-led effort to get Americans out of their cars and into the landscape via greenways.
“Excellent!”
per Daniel Samuels, New Orleans architect and FOLC board member
“Peirce Lewis’s book tells the fascinating story of the part New Orleans ‘ geography played in why the city of New Orleans developed as it did – both physically and socially. The writing style is friendly and intelligent rather than academic. Fans of Crescent City history will enjoy this.”
- Janet Ward Pease of FOLC
