Tricentennial projects: Revitalizing the Big Easy

After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina 13 years ago, New Orleans took the opportunity to come together to restore, rethink and revitalize. Faced with the task of rebuilding historic structures, homes, hospitals, parks and roads, the Crescent City has become a model for 21st century redevelopment and infrastructure investment.

The following city-wide projects, to name a few, will have a lasting impact and serve as a vital step in creating the city we will be for the next 300 years.

• Louis Armstrong International Airport.

• Lafitte Greenway.

• Four Seasons Hotel.

• North Rampart streetcar extension.

• Bourbon Street infrastructure.

• Recreation centers.
