Updates on Community Improvements: Abbeville's Master Plan At Work!

Engaging  Visionary Walking Tour!

We recently  marked a memorable milestone for the visioning process in our community!  Place + Main Advisors, LLC, were pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming support from our city. It was mentioned as one of the biggest turnouts ever!

Under the comprehensive Master Plan of the City, Place + Main and the Center for Planning Excellence (CPEX) have been diligently working on a Real Estate Redevelopment Plan. Participation matters, and we’re thrilled that over 70 residents joined us on the walking tour to share their visions and ideas.

But the journey doesn’t end there! Stay tuned for more community opportunities to get involved in shaping the future of our city! Together, we can make a difference. 

Note: The event was funded as part of a grant received from the Delta Regional Authority.

Here's Why Your Feedback Is So Important

Your input matters more than you know, and together, we can create something that we’ll all be proud of! Let’s make our community safer and more accessible for everyone.

Did you know there is an RV club that has been bringing a Cajun Country Caravan to Abbeville for the past 8 years! For four days, they park their RVs at Abbeville RV Park, immersing themselves in the sights and flavors of Abbeville.

Each day is filled with excitement as they explore Abbeville and neighboring communities. On Thursday, they were welcomed at City Hall by Mayor White, and treated to breakfast featuring local specialties like Richard's Meat Market boudin and beignets. Ali Miller, the Vermilion Parish Tourist Commission Director, shared insights into the area's tourism, while Mark Shirley enlightened them about the alligator agriculture industry.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the opportunity to ask questions and hold baby alligators. They also took a tour of the Sam Guarino Blacksmith Shop Museum after lunch at SHUCKS! THE Louisiana Seafood House and of course they came back to soak in the lively atmosphere of Sounds on the Square - 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐨 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐟𝐨𝐬𝐞 & 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞 , experiencing the true essence of Abbeville and the culture.

For the club members, the Cajun Caravan isn't just a trip; it's an enriching journey that leaves lasting memories. They're already looking forward to next year's adventure!
