Throughout the comprehensive planning process, recommendations have been made with
regard to water-oriented development. Jefferson Parish has great potential to enhance
water-oriented development along Lake Pontchartrain, the Mississippi River, and other
water bodies. Along Lake Pontchartrain, adoption and implementation of the Jefferson
Lakefront Linear Park Master Plan would enhance recreational opportunities and development
of beaches. Along the Mississippi River on the East Bank, water-oriented recreational
and development opportunities could improve the focus on the Mississippi River. On
the West Bank, industrial uses are dominant along the Mississippi River and the Harvey
Canal and should be protected. This area also provides the opportunity for Jefferson
Parish to capitalize on regional port activities, as outlined in the Jefferson EDGE.
The comprehensive plan recognizes that water bodies are assets to be utilized appropriately.
Jefferson Parish contains many bayous, bays, and lakes that can be utilized to enhance
development and economic opportunities. Water-oriented development is an important
issue addressed in the comprehensive plan.
