THE EAST IS A TRANSFORMATIVE DIRECTION AND INVESTMENT FOR CITY HALL

Mtumishi St. Julien
 

February 15, 2020. Recently there has been more discussion on where to put the new city hall for the City of New Orleans. The old Charity Hospital idea has come and gone. Now the Municipal Auditorium idea has caught fire. But Councilman Jay Banks in a February 6 Advocate article was quoted as saying that “he has heard only conceptual discussions about a move to Municipal Auditorium but would not oppose City Hall leaving the CBD.

 

“I’m looking out my window as I’m speaking to you at the Superdome, so I know this is prime property that could be providing much more economic benefit to the city,” he said.


Banks said his first choice would be to move City Hall — along with the Sewerage & Water Board offices and Civil District Court — to a campus in New Orleans East, where their employees could provide an economic shot in the arm for the area. But he said he was not wedded to any particular idea of where city government should be located.

Anthony Bridges (pictured above), Assistant Vice President and Financial Center Leader of Fidelity Bank at 5530 Crowder Blvd., recently received the Fidelity P.O.W.E.R. (Potential of Women Entrepreneurs Realized) Shoe Award.

 

The shoe is awarded to branches attracting the most P.O.W.E.R. members in a month or the highest number of products (e.g., loans, checking accounts). To date, there are 729 P.O.W.E.R. members across the metro area (including Slidell, Mandeville, Hammond, CBD and the Westbank). 

 

The program encourages powerful women to meet, share experiences and learn from one another, though networking with both seasoned and new members. 

 

“Through the program, women share challenging situations and how to be successful,” said Bridges.

 

P.O.W.E.R. members can create a profile page at http://www.fidelitybankpower.com/ and members have access to a membership directory, networking events, free checking and access to loans and mortgages.
