Welcome to Westwego, Louisiana!
Westwego is a small city that is located on the West Bank of the Mississippi River in the heart of Jefferson Parish. With its stable population and slow, sustainable growth within its roughly one square mile footprint, Westwego represents, in many ways, a model community, steeped in historic roots of South Louisiana and coastal waters, a culturally diverse hard-working community of independent stature. Westwego, with its historic Sala Avenue, Shrimp Lot, and Bayou Segnette State Park, is a great place to visit and is located just 15 minutes from downtown New Orleans.

From the Mayor's Desk
I have the honor of leading our city as your Mayor. My greatest task is to lead our community into an economic growth future.
It is my endeavor to further improvements to the Water and Wastewater Plants, improve drainage and protection levees, economic development projects, continue to deal with the issues of abandoned and blighted houses and to assist the needs of our Senior Citizens. Additionally, I will ensure that the needs of Police, Fire, EMS and Recreation Departments are addressed and be assured that when we deliver services to you each day we do so with your needs, expectations and desires for a higher quality of life in mind.
I will continue to meet with all of our elected officials from Jefferson Parish, State and Federal officials in an effort to secure assistance and funding for the critical needs of our city.
As your Mayor, I have an open door policy and welcome any of your suggestions and comments. I am genuinely excited about our future and have every confidence that by working together, we will face any challenges presented before us and chart a course for a stronger, brighter future. I believe that the key to any city's success is not solely based on the essential services provided to its citizens- it's you, the people.
