Louisiana is a small
eastern Missouri town (Census 2000 population: 3,863) nestled along
the banks of the Mississippi River. Early French explorers donned
the term "Land of the Golden Hills" to describe the Louisiana area.
Louisiana is one of
Missouri's oldest and most treasured towns. The downtown area is
touted as having the state's most intact historic streetscape. The
downtown historic district and surrounding neighborhoods feature
impressive architecture and stately homes from the civil war era and
turn of the century.
Downtown Louisiana
is a new program to revitalize historic Downtown Louisiana.
The Louisiana Economic Development Committee retained Downtown
Professionals Network (DPN) to help organize this bold
community-driven initiative aimed at revitalizing the historic
downtown business district.
The program is in the early stages of
development. DPN is working with Louisiana community leaders,
business people and residents to define a vision for downtown
Louisiana, to organize committees, to establish priorities, to
assemble an action plan, and to initiate projects and activities
that will help the community achieve its vision for the downtown.
