It is a state agency whose multiple legislative mandates include developing opportunities to use the French language in tourism, economic development, culture, education and international relations. CODOFIL is governed by a board of 23 members and administratively placed within the Louisiana Office of Cultural Development's Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, overseen by the Lieutenant Governor. CODOFIL is the only state agency in the United States whose purpose is to serve a linguistic population. Today, CODOFIL's role is to promote and support French immersion and French as a second language in education; it acts as a partner to the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE), whose role is to manage Louisiana's school districts. CODOFIL continues to recruit and sponsor French, Belgian and Canadian associate teachers as per its accords with those countries, who are placed alongside local teachers upon LDOE's recommendation. CODOFIL encourages Louisiana Francophones to continue transmission of the state's heritage language via its scholarship program (providing opportunities for pedagogical advancement) and the Escadrille Louisiane program (which allows non-native speakers to perfect French at the Université de Rennes in exchange for a minimum 3-year teaching commitment of French in Louisiana).CODOFIL has also worked to instill pride in all Louisiana Francophones in their linguistic identity rather than to uphold one variety of French language or another.

The Lafayette Parish Correctional Center (LPCC) is the parish jail for Lafayette Parish located in downtown Lafayette in the US state of Louisiana. It is run by the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Mark Garber. The jail serves the cities of Lafayette, Scott, Carencro, Broussard, Youngsville and the town of Duson, and the unincorporated areas of Lafayette Parish. The LPCC is operated under the Corrections Division of the LPSO. The jail holds all male and female parish inmates, both sentenced and awaiting trial, as well as a population of Louisiana Department of Corrections (DoC) inmates. The jail operates many work programs for its inmates. These include a work release program, a kitchen crew, laundry crew, general work crew and several road crews. These road crews contribute to the beauty of Lafayette Parish by routinely picking up litter around the parish. LPCC also provides GED services, job-seeking education, counseling services, religious services, recreation, social visiting, commissary, library, and mail distribution to the inmates housed there. LPCC is accredited by the American Correctional Association. The Corrections Division also operates LAPCORR Industries (Lafayette Parish Correctional Industries), a program where inmates work in a factory like setting making plastic liners and cardboard boxes for government and non-profit customers. This program promotes successful re-integration of inmates into the community by training inmates in quality, safety, productivity, and good work ethics. The revenue made by LAPCORR helps offset the costs of incarceration, reducing the costs to taxpayers. LAPCORR also recycles old inmate uniforms and makes pet beds out of them, donating them to government and non-profit groups.

Borden's Ice Cream Shoppe is a historic ice cream parlor on Johnston Street in Lafayette, Louisiana, built in 1940 to sell Borden ice creams. In 1981, then owner, lifelong Lafayette resident Flora Levy, died. Her will stipulated a large bequest to the University of Louisiana Lafayette's Foundation; the ice cream parlor was part of that bequest. The Foundation held the title to the building, and rented the space to the manager who continued to operate the business. The building had been passed down from generation to generation in the Levy family; Flora had received it from her mother. In May 2009, the Foundation sold the store to Lafayette Red's health club owner Red Lerille, who bought the property with the intention of keeping the local icon alive in Lafayette. Lerille plans to slightly renovate the building, adding a drive through window and outdoor seating. Lerille's daughter Kackie Lerille will manage the store. Lerille was quoted as saying that he is interested in mom-and-pop type businesses like the ice cream store. "I believe it is the American way, but it is dying fast. This location is actually the last Borden’s retail ice cream shop in the United States. It is a Lafayette tradition and my daughter and I fully intend to bring it back to its original state." Ella Mae Meaux—who had worked in the parlor for 48 years by the time it was sold to the Lerille Family—said, "Generations of family have come to Borden's for the old-fashioned ice cream parlor experience. This sale to the Lerilles ensures families will be able to continue with this experience for many years to come."
