Facing Your Fears Radio Talk Show with Host Evangelist Dr. Norma Chapman along with her Special Guest Mr. Derrick Shepherd who is running in the upcoming election for Councilman in Jefferson Parish, District 3, will be discussing a very important topic, on today's episode. Topic: Community Improvement. Our guest states in his own words that " I have a 12 point plan to improve Jefferson Parish District 3". The District includes Harvey,Marrero,Westwego,Avondale,Waggaman,River Ridge,Metairie,and Kenner. He further states that growing up in Marrero, he has always been active in the community and sees the unrealized potential of District 3  encompasses the sprawling East and West  Banks of Jefferson  Parish. " With $71 Million in the Jefferson Parish Discretionary Fund for District, Shepherd's plan is to improve the quality of life for all citizens of the district. Projects like a grocery store in Avondale which is currently a food desert".  There are over 32,000 people living in the 70094 zip code where Avondale is located. Without a basic service like a grocery store in Avondale, the area will never be able to attract new industries and investment. Shepherd says " Other components of the his plan includes: funding for Doorbell Cameras for seniors; Youth Summer Employment Program; a Homeowner's Insurance Premium Subsidy; Reopening Kenner's Health Clinic; building a new Community Center in the Westminster Subdivision ; revitalizing Acres Roads and much, much, more.
