An advisory group has been formed to tackle the problem of food deserts in Lafayette.
The group is being organized as part of a fellowship with the The Center for Community Investment.
The United Way of Acadiana says that the fellowship was awarded to Community Development Director Hollis Conway, United Way of Acadiana President/CEO Carlee Alm-LaBar, and Lafayette Public Trust Financing Authority Executive Director Kevin Blanchard.
The advisory group, which will be made up of people from all walks of life, will begin meeting later this month to find ways to increase capital investment in dis-invested parts of the city where availability of fresh and nutritious food is lacking.
