Your Voice, Your Future
The future of Southwest Louisiana isn’t something happening to us – it’s something we are building together. That’s the driving force behind Just Imagine SWLA, the 50-Year Resilience Master Plan created for and with the people of Calcasieu and Cameron parishes.
What makes this plan unique is how it came to life. Two parishes, five cities, two towns, state and federal agencies, schools, nonprofits, businesses, and everyday citizens joined forces to shape a shared vision for our region. The message was clear: make Southwest Louisiana a great place to live for its residents.
We want to make sure everyone knows about it because this is OUR plan. The Just Imagine team is available to meet with civic groups, schools, churches, nonprofits, and neighborhood associations across the region. Sharing the story about Just Imagine SWLA and its 11 catalytic projects helps update the community about projects underway, answer residents’ questions, and gather feedback that can strengthen the plan.
We believe the more people who engage with Just Imagine SWLA, the stronger the impact will be for the entire region. When people come together around a shared vision, it fosters support, sparks new ideas, and transforms long-term goals into tangible, lasting change.
We’re committed to going where the conversations are happening. If you’re part of a group that would like to learn more, we’d love to come speak with you. By connecting directly with residents, we can keep this plan rooted in the people it was designed for and by.
There are plenty of simple ways to engage with Just Imagine SWLA. Start by following us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn and liking and sharing posts helps spread the word. You can also join us at community events, such as the April conversation with Jeff Speck on walkable downtowns or the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Riverside Park kayak launch with the National Park Service. Most importantly, keep the conversation going by talking about the plan with your friends, family, and neighbors.
