Ship agency T. Parker Host celebrated the grand reopening of former New Orleans-area navy shipyard as Avondale Global Gateway. Once one of the state’s highest economic drivers and employers, Avondale, situated on the Mississippi River, sat idle and fell into disrepair.
Working through challenges including high-river restrictions and the pandemic, Host invested more than $100 million in the redevelopment. The transformation pays tribute to its past and its connection to the Louisiana community.
Now open, the terminal is fully capable of handling cargo with working cranes, operating docks and connections to rivers, rails and roads, Avondale looks to the future.
