On Tuesday, October 15, 2019, a letter was distributed to ask local leaders to produce an action plan for bringing Economic Development to New Orleans East. A petition was also distributed with the letter so that residents could show their support for the letter by adding their names.
If you have collected signed copies of the petition, please email info@noelaservices.com to make arrangements to turn in your copies, or drop them off at Universal Printing, located at 9890 Lake Forest Blvd. You can also sign the petition here.
Thank you for adding your name to request an action plan from our leaders.
Thinking Outside the Box
A New Home for City Hall
Could New Orleans East provide the solution?
Mayor LaToya Cantrell is looking for a new location for City Hall, due to the current condition of the existing building. Municipal Auditorium seems to be the top choice, but several months ago, during one of the many conversations about jump starting development in New Orleans East, a resident suggested to me that it would make sense for City Hall move to New Orleans East.
