Show Notes
The Orleans Parish School Board is reviving plans for the historic Israel Augustine Middle School, which has been vacant since Hurricane Katrina. After the first round of proposals failed, the board has decided to lower lease costs for developers to attract better bids. The school board is facing challenges such as the buildings poor condition, its location near the criminal court, and a tight deadline. The board is working with the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority to transform these surplus properties into revenue-generating assets while benefiting the community. The authority plans to restart calls for proposals in the next few months, with the goal of presenting top choices to the board by summer.
