In January 2013, we proposed the following ten initiatives to the Cameron Parish Police Jury, and asked them to first fund FOUR research projects in order to confirm our plans...
- Build a marina consisting of private craft harbor, fuel depot, ice house, dry storage, dockage for commercial fishermen, and wharf for them to sell their catch fresh off the boat.
- Build a hotel and restaurant to attract visitors, small meetings, and new businesses. Consider beach condominiums and houseboat/floating rental units.
- Construct a new public beach, event greenspace and conservation areas with birding towers, boardwalks, trails, including the historical Gulf Biologic Station.
- On our site, create for-lease retail space such as bait shop, fast food, fishing supplies, beach apparel to serve visitors and fishermen.
- Develop a small shopping site at intersection of 27/82 and Davis Road with c-store, grocery, pharmacy, entertainment, other retail so residents aren’t forced out of town day-to-day.
- Make the area attractive to locate new industry. Include a strategic plan for building workforce housing.
- Create a blueprint presentation for presenting our findings to citizens, funders and business prospects.
- Organize and execute a strategy for directing more State and Federal funding to Cameron to accomplish our vision.
- Follow the leads and funding sources of the Louisiana CPRA 2012 Coastal Master Plan in order to take advantage of the elements suited to Cameron.
- Take advantage of our location and natural resources. Use them as a unique attraction to visitors and businesses.
