I’m just ready for the whole Bio District corridor to get up and running.

I probably said this before, but Tulane is more than itching to be in there, they've basically made developing a true campus downtown the center of all its marketing and fundraising. If you hear their president speak in any forum or venue, he spends a big chunk of time talking about it. They're also launching a nursing program that needs space, so they're going to push that project forward as much as possible.

Agreed, the combination of Domain + Tulane should ensure this gets developed. Maybe not exactly as planned, but I'd give this an 90% change of happening, while the River District is at like 40% (and Plaza Tower at 5% )

Sounds like right-wing garbage and was already killed in the legislature.

Just saw it was killed also, I wonder how that would have even worked especially dealing with two different treasury organizations in two different states.

Frustrating to watch more stutters with the River District now you have nimbys wanting to bog it down into legal issues. Always baffles me why people who complain about losing parking and traffic move to urban areas in the first place. Its brown fields and surface lots for pete sake.

I also have always wondered why UNO has never really shown an interest in a Downtown campus, especially given its had falling enrolment recently. I get its largely a commuter school but the whole selling point of studying otherwise in New Orleans should be the proximity to unique neighborhoods and lifestyle not marooned out on a quiet part of the Lakefront.

I'd argue that people move to urban areas to avoid things like Top Golf and a sea of parking garages. Still pushing for River District to happen, but like you said - it's a sea of brownfields and surface lots, the developers could easily move the Top Golf to literally any other location on the site and end this argument. Not sure why they are so intent on being right up against buildings with thousands of residents.

UNO is a public school, so the chance of the state coming up with money to expand it in an entirely new neighborhood is nil. However, their master plan for the existing campus seems to be moving forward.

I can’t wait to see his New Orleans skyline will evolve within the next 10 years with the addition of the River District and a redeveloped Charity Hospital and Bio Medical District.

I know you are talking about a downtown campus, but UNO used to have an entire building on Canal St. Back in the 1980s, I took several classes there. Since I don't live there anymore, I don't know if they still have classes in that building.
