Administrative Assistant

Lafayette Park Conservancy (LPC) was founded to restore and preserve the historic legacy of Lafayette Park, the first developed urban park in the Louisiana Purchase Territory. The LPC was formed in 2001 and operates as a local partner with the City of St. Louis in the administration, improvement, and activation of the park. This relationship was formalized under terms of the 2004 Lafayette Park Master Plan, which still guides the actions of the LPC.
