American Planning Association Designates
Faubourg Marigny
One of the Top 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2009
 The American Planning Association announced today that the Faubourg Marigny has been designated one of 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2009 by APA’s Great Places in America program.
“We are truly honored to have been chosen as a Great Neighborhood” President of FMIA Chris Costello noted, “our residents work hard to keep our neighborhood friendly and open to visitors while sharing everything there is to offer in its unique sense of place, local citizen activism, historic architecture with social and cultural diversity.”
Through Great Places in America, APA recognizes unique and authentic characteristics found in three essential components of all communities: streets, neighborhoods and public spaces. APA Great Places offer better choices for where and how people work and live every day, places that are enjoyable, safe and desirable. Such places are defined by many characteristics, including architectural features, accessibility, functionality and community involvement. Read more
