BELLE CHASSE, LA, MARCH 1, 2021 - In the first major steps toward construction of the replacement bridge, the Plenary Infrastructure team is currently performing preconstruction activities including the building of roads and creation of project laydown yards in readiness for bridge building in 2021.

Project design finalizations and initial investigative efforts have occurred during 2020. These steps allowed the team to move forward with preconstruction activities. Clearing and grubbing begins this week for this laydown area, which will be located south of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway between the north and southbound portions of LA 23. These activities are anticipated to continue for two to three weeks. Actual construction of the bridge is anticipated to begin in mid-2021 after pile driving tests are completed in March. Construction is expected to take approximately four years, with the new replacement bridge to be operational in 2024.

There is a ton of upside potential if this rare earth minerals proposal goes through both environmentally and economically. I'm quite excited about this project. There are currently no rare earth processing plants in the United States and only one active mine in Mountain Pass, CA. All of that material has to be shipped to China for processing.

https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_ro...c6fce08f8.html

These minerals are vital to the production of all types of electronic equipment. If I was a facilities planner for an electronics or battery maker, it would make economic sense to build facilities close to a vital source like this proposed plant. You would also have the bonus of a robust logistics network already in place via ship, rail, road, and air. The only negative in our area would be the risk of a major hurricane, but storm hardened facilities can be constructed much like earthquake hardened structures are in place in California.

CITY OF NEW ORLEANS PROVIDES 'INVITATION TO BID' ON RESTORATION, LEASE OF HISTORIC TOURO-SHAKSPEARE HOME IN ALGIERS
NEW ORLEANS — After a decade and a half of non-use, on Friday the City of New Orleans is releasing an “invitation to bid” to residents and businesses for the opportunity to renovate and lease the historic Touro-Shakspeare Home in Algiers. The property is restricted in use and must remain as something that would qualify as a modern-day alms house. Please check nola.gov/purchasing for further information and “open house” dates.



From 1994 through 2005, the Touro-Shakspeare Home was operated as a nursing home facility, prior to being substantially damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Since 2005, the facility has been vacant and unused.



“The Touro-Shakspeare building is an architecturally significant property on the West Bank with a rich history,” said Ramsey Green, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer for Infrastructure. “This is a wonderful opportunity to restore the property to its original grandeur so that it can once again serve the community in its primary purpose.”



"Touro-Shakspeare is a beautiful, historic building that I believe has always been prime for redevelopment. I worked to re-zone the property in 2019, removing barriers for developers, and helped put this building back into commerce, serving our senior population. It's exciting that Algiers will soon have a newly redeveloped property that the community can be proud of," said Kristin Gisleson Palmer, City Councilmember, District C.



The Touro-Shakspeare Home is the legacy of the philanthropist Judah Touro, who sought care for the aged and indigent. Upon his death, Mr. Touro bequeathed funds for the purchase of immovable property for the construction of an “alms house.” An alms house was a term used in the 19th century for a form of housing for people (typically but not necessarily elderly) who could not earn enough money to pay rent.



Upon his death, the Touro Trust began construction of a 9th Ward alms house in keeping with the testament of Mr. Touro. At some point in the mid 1800s, the partially constructed alms house was commandeered by the Federal government for military use, and, while in possession by the U.S. military, the facility was destroyed by fire.



Act 100 of the 1867 Louisiana Legislature authorized the Board of Directors of the Touro Trust to transfer any funds and real estate owned by the trust to the City of New Orleans. The Act contained a restriction that required funds and property only be used for the purpose listed in the will of Mr. Touro — an alms house in the City of New Orleans.



In 1895, the funds were utilized to construct a second alms house in the Uptown area of New Orleans. In 1927, during the administration of Mayor Joseph Shakspeare, the City purchased immovable property in Orleans Parish on the west bank of the Mississippi River for the current Touro-Shakspeare Home. Construction of the William Burke-designed alms house began in 1932. The impressive structure is marked by diamond-pattern brickwork, stepped parapets, and a grand columned front entrance. It features a 20-foot domed ceiling in its chapel and two enclosed courtyards with decorative columns.

It's good to see that building nearly gone.

At the same time, it's sad that a high-rise building that should have been a draw for tourists and a nice addition to Canal Street (if it had been done correctly) is now gone, with no clear picture of what will fill that spot.

I've seen this development mentioned here before, but I came across it again on the Trahan Architects website. I noticed that they have an estimated completion date of 2024 listed. Anyone know anything about this? The renderings seem to leave Plaza Tower out of the mix.

Trahan tends to have some projects listed that arent real proposals. No doubt its beautiful but as far as I know the property its on is still listed for sale. or at least part of that block is for sale. The renderings do for some reason purposefully avoid showing the plaza toewer.

Could be my guess is this is more than likely to address building condition and upkeep complaints.. the city has been lenient because of Hard Rock collapse , but now that its basically cleared they are going to want to clean the street up
