HI, I AM PARISH PRESIDENT CYNTHIA LEE SHANG, AND EXCITED TO TELL YOU ABOUT AN INCREDIBLE MILESTONE FOR JEFFERSON PARISH.
OUR BICENTENNIAL THIS YEAR MARKS THE 200TH BIRTHDAY OF JEFFERSON PARISH.
A TIME TO CELEBRATE OUR HISTORY, HONOR OUR PAST, AND LOOK FORWARD TO OUR FUTURE.
AND HERE AT JPTV, WE'RE DOING JUST THAT.
WE NOW HAVE A PHYSICAL SPACE TO HOST OUR REGULAR PUBLIC ACCESS TELEVISION PROGRAMMING.
OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS, OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE TEAM WILL BE BRINGING YOU MORE CONTENT TO SHOWCASE OUR RICH 200 YEAR HISTORY.
FROM SPECIAL CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR LIBRARY TEAM AND HISTORIANS ON THE PIVOTAL MOMENTS THAT HAVE SHAPED OUR PARISH TO INSPIRING STORIES OF INNOVATION AND RESILIENCE, BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT OUR HISTORY, IT'S ALSO ABOUT THE PRESENT AND FUTURE.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE LIVE COVERAGE OF PARISH WIDE CELEBRATIONS AND FEATURE WORK OF VARIOUS PARISH DEPARTMENTS AS WE EMBARK ON AN UNFORGETTABLE YEAR LONG CELEBRATION FOR OUR BICENTENNIAL.
2025 IS THE YEAR FOR ALL OF US TO CELEBRATE A YEAR TO LOOK BACK ON 200 YEARS OF HISTORY, PROGRESS, AND COMMUNITY PRIDE.
WE ARE INVITING EVERYONE, RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO JOIN US IN THIS HISTORIC YEAR-LONG CELEBRATION.
THIS YEAR-LONG CELEBRATION IS YOUR PARTY.
NOW IS THE TIME TO START PLANNING YOUR PART.
IN THIS MOMENTOUS YEAR, WE'RE CREATING A FULL CALENDAR OF EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT WILL HIGHLIGHT WHAT MAKES JEFFERSON PARISH SPECIAL.
FROM COMMUNITY-WIDE CELEBRATIONS TO INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS THAT MAKE US PROUD OF WHERE WE LIVE.
WHETHER YOU'RE HOSTING A NEIGHBORHOOD EVENT, PLANNING A SPECIAL ACTIVITY, OR CREATING A UNIQUE PROGRAM, WE WANT YOU TO TAKE PART AND HELP MAKE OUR BICENTENNIAL A YEAR TO REMEMBER.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE THIS ANNIVERSARY A LASTING PART OF OUR COMMUNITY'S LEGACY.
WE WANNA THANK OUR JEFFERSON PARISH COUNCIL AND OUR DEDICATED COMMUNITY PARTNERS WHO ARE HELPING US MAKE THIS CELEBRATION POSSIBLE.
AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR PARISH DEPARTMENTS, WHICH ARE ALREADY PLANNING SOME NEXT LEVEL IDEAS FOR THE MILESTONE YEAR.
STAY TUNED FOR MANY MORE AMAZING EVENTS AND SURPRISES TO GET INVOLVED.
WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO VISIT JEFF PARRISH.GOV/JP TWO ZERO WHERE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL BICENTENNIAL LOGO, ADD YOUR EVENTS TO THE COMMUNITY CALENDAR, AND STAY UPDATED IN ALL THINGS RELATED TO OUR 200TH ANNIVERSARY.
WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TABLE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO CELEBRATING WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
JEFFERSON PARISH FOR A CELEBRATION OF A LIFETIME.
THE BICENTENNIAL YEAR HAS ARRIVED AND IT'S GOING TO BE UNFORGETTABLE.
