St. Tammany Parish - Local Recovery Vision

Our community will provide an opportunity to maintain the rural character of our smaller communities and the spirit of our urban areas while we grow and expand into a self-sustaining economy offering a high quality of life for our residents.

We both treasure and maintain our natural resources while we develop protection from the impacts of nature.

We will live in safe, secure and connected communities which offer strong educational opportunities, a healthy environment, diverse housing for our residents, and provide sufficient roadway systems that allow residents to reach employment, schools, and services.
