Arts and Culture District Presentation Set The City Planning Commission will be on hand to discuss the opportunities associated with status as an Arts and Culture District and to explain the benefits of the new state program for Cultural Products Districts. The public is invited to attend and you can visit their website for more information. NEWTON CORRIDOR INITIATIVE Following completion of a market study and several meetings with HANO regarding the complete redevelopment of the Fischer Housing Project, Old Algiers Main Street Corporation has decided to make its primary initiative the improvement of the Newton Street corridor. While there are several historical mixed use corridors in the program area, Newton Street has the greatest potential because of its central location within Old Algiers and as a throughway into adjacent neighborhoods. The Newton Street corridor extends upriver into Gretna—passing along the Riverfront and Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World en route—and downriver into greater Algiers, where a large Federal City project is going to be developed with the phase-out of the Naval Support Facility. Long-time residents of Old Algiers remember a vibrant retail corridor along Newton that served a diverse community, and residents of all durations support a Main Street revitalization that is respectful of the scale and character of the historic neighborhood. Please click on the Newton Corridor link for more information, including a property database for the entire corridor. Old Algiers Main Street Corporation Annual Meeting |
