In June 2019, with assistance from LEDA, the City of Broussard embarked on a multi-day charrette, led by B&A Planning Group, bringing together residents and the many other stakeholders interested in creating a plan for Broussard's Downtown and Main Street Corridor reconstruction called Envision Broussard.

The Main Street Corridor Master Plan (February 2020, PDF) illustrates the vision of the Downtown and Main Street Corridor, charting a course for the many decisions that are still to come as we implement the plan.
