The Faubourg St. Roch Project The Faubourg St. Roch Project is committed to a holistic revitalization of the St. Roch neighborhood in New Orleans. With community participation, new building, restoration, advanced environmental technology, through partnerships with other non-profit groups, with progressive energy policy work, and with spirited conviction, we will create a model and catalyst for neighborhood revitalization in New Orleans. We have chosen to target St. Roch because of the extraordinary people who live there, because of its inherent urban density and architectural strengths, and because of its rich history and character. In order to be effective in the short term, we will focus the first three years of our efforts on the neighborhood core, defined as a nine-block segment of St. Roch Avenue extending from the St. Roch Market around Independence Square. This segment includes 139 house lots, 9 commercial lots, the St. Roch Avenue neutral ground, the St. Roch Cemetery, Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, Our Lady Star of the Sea School, and Independence Square, a two-square block neighborhood park. Our work is guided by principles of sustainability, inclusiveness, social entrepreneurship, community leadership and respect for historic fabric. Our task is to assist in the renewal of community by invigorating existing public space, rebuilding or renovating damaged housing, and reintroducing and supporting commercial, cultural, spiritual and community ventures. We will rebuild in such a manner that St. Roch will be safe, healthy, affordable, and inspiring for residents. |
