Scope Five

Design charrette for business corridor redevelopment and development of a 28-acre site across from the church that would include a new church, chapel, and senior housing complex (independent, assisted, and nursing home – find right term).

Development of the existing site as a trailer site for 99 travel trailers is currently underway (check status/progress/costs/etc). FEMA will install infrastructure that will be permanent and reusable for the permanent development of the site.

Surveys, design fees, construction budgets, master plan, phasing plan

Existing wetlands – assessments, impact studies? What is involved with ACE?

Indirect job development: healthcare workers

This project should include all the components from the project? Is there an existing association of business owner to champion the planning component?

New Orleans East is home to over 8,000 Vietnamese Americans living in a tightly knit community since 1975. Hurricane Katrina has severely damaged homes and neighborhoods, but the community is determined to return and rebuild. Much of the recovery work has been done; now the community is looking towards long-term planning and redevelopment. The Community Rebuilding Workshop marks the beginning of these efforts.

24 businesses have sprung back to life, including restaurants, grocery stores and even a dentist office
