Capital Improvement Program Newsletter - April 2018

Message from the Mayor
Serving as your Mayor has been the greatest honor of my life. And by
working together, we are rebuilding our city and laying a foundation for our
shared future.
Upon taking office
in 2010, we hit the reset button our City’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
Since then, we have met with FEMA over 900 times to ensure we receive every
dollar we could to rebuild our City’s damaged infrastructure. Our hard work
paid off, big time. Now, the City of New
Orleans' Department of Public Works and Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans
are working together to implement the most
robust infrastructure improvement program that our region has seen in a
generation. Our $2.3
billion Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) to repair 400 miles of streets and subsurface infrastructure. This program will positively impact every
neighborhood in our city, creating thousands of jobs and benefiting our small
and disadvantaged businesses.
This
year, we are scheduled to begin construction on more than 50 FEMA-funded
roadway projects across the city, with a total investment of more than $400
million.
The
following FEMA-funded CIP projects are now under way: Lakeview North Group A, Village De L’Est Group A , Lower Ninth Northwest Group A, Read Boulevard East Group A, Read Boulevard West Group A, Lower Ninth Ward Northeast Group A, Lake Terrace and Oaks Group A and Gentilly Terrace Group A.
The West Bank Group A and Lakeshore Group A
projects will be under construction in the coming weeks.
We
will continue to work each day to ensure that there are plenty of resources
available to learn about the individual projects, including
our RoadworkNOLA website, Road Construction Toolkit for businesses and our monthly newsletter.
Fixing
our infrastructure is a priority so that New Orleans can continue to grow
economically and become more and more resilient.
We
thank you for being our Capital Improvement Program partners.

Sincerely,
 Mitchell J. Landrieu, Mayor
City of New Orleans
