Charity with the construction elevator



You almost got me with that one- I thought they finally commenced with construction.😄 Hopefully one day it’ll be bought back to life. 😞

Department of Interior announces there are more Gulf leases for wind farms coming: https://www.nola.com/news/business/m...338ec6e3f.html

It'll certainly be interesting to see if Louisiana can keep momentum in wind energy. Already, there's been talk that the leases off the coast of Texas were unsuccessful because the state has been less supportive of wind energy than Louisiana has. We might be able to finally get some of those energy jobs back if we turn the early mover advantage into sustained support.

Yeah I mean I don't want to really talk politics but we have to hope the momentum is there.

The state has a good chance at being a hot sector in clean energy- which could lead to a whole new industry for jobs and opportunities for the region. Cautiously optimistic.

The River District team provided updated renderings for the new office building (shell) during this weeks community meeting. Request for proposal with a rendering is below.

https://riverdistrictnola.com/wp-con...ch-Flyer-2.pdf

Construction on the roadways/infrastructure should begin in the next month or so. Besides Topgolf, the first projects will be the office project and associated park on parcel 2A. The first residential project should be across the newly extended Euterpe St. and will be workforce and affordable housing. The team indicated that they had applied for state funding and should know by June whether they have the necessary grants/tax assistance.

The full meeting presentation should be uploaded to their website soon. I am glad to see this move forward.

Wow that rendering looks absolutely gorgeous. I feel the River District will really expand and quite frankly update the city skyline ( which is a tad outdated 😁).

Also glad to see it moving forward now. While acknowledging the concerns some people have had about this project, ultimately converting completely empty lots into something, and at the same time being able to restore an urban street grid and add some housing is a net positive in my book.

And that rendering is indeed gorgeous. I'm so glad they're not just building boxes and calling it a day.
