About Jericho Road:
Located in the heart of New Orleans, the historic Central City neighborhood emanates the powerful spirit of our culturally influential city. Community traditions of art and political activism have cultivated numerous important music and civil rights figures. Generations of families still gather around the staples of New Orleanian life: music, food, and porch gatherings. Although struggling to overcome common inner-city problems—including crime and blight— both old and new residents are committed to revitalizing their neighborhood. Central City’s history, location, and people make it an area ripe for redevelopment. While many resources have been directed to construction and social services, the neighborhood still lacks green space, fresh food, and environmental education opportunities. A fruit tree orchard would fulfill these unmet needs and contribute to Jericho Road’s holistic approach to neighborhood revitalization.
