In September 2011, the Lafayette Urban Renewal Authority (LURA) adopted the 2011 Downtown Vision to act as a guide for public decisions related to development within the downtown commercial area. Since then, a number of recommendations within the plan have been accomplished and LURA is working to bring other projects to fruition in 2013. To ensure Lafayette residents and visitors have access to information regarding ongoing work to further the goals of the Downtown Vision, LURA in January published an Annual Report for 2012 and has put together a list of accomplishments that have taken place since the adoption of the Vision. LURA will also be seeking public input regarding downtown at three “Coffee with Urban Renewal” events in the coming weeks. For more information, select the links below:
