Shreveport, LA – Following a series of meetings dating back to the transition, Governor Jeff Landry has established historical partnerships between the State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans to revitalize Metro New Orleans’ infrastructure. To undertake this project, Governor Landry has directed the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), the Division of Administration (DOA), and Louisiana Economic Development (LED) to collaborate closely with Mayor Cantrell, CAO Gilbert Montero, the New Orleans Department of Public Works, and associated city agencies. Other partners include SWBNO, LSED, ASM, Downtown Development District, New Orleans Convention Center, French Quarter Management District, Jefferson Parish, Office of the Lieutenant Governor, and more.
Governor Jeff Landry reportedly said:
“New Orleans is a first-class city, and we need to ensure that we are putting our best infrastructure and economic development foot forward as we welcome thousands of visitors for Super Bowl LIX.
The story of New Orleans is the story of Louisiana, and the Super Bowl creates a catalyst for great things to happen.
The world will be watching us, and we must take advantage of that spotlight. I appreciate everyone who has worked hard to make these partnerships possible, and I look forward to the economic development they will bring not just to the City of New Orleans, but to the entire State of Louisiana. It’s time the world truly sees everything that makes Louisiana great!”
