A major multi-modal transportation project in St James or other river parish between New Orleans & Baton Rouge, including a new airport serving both cities (passenger plus cargo), rail & interstate access and a deep water port has been proposed several times.
Not enough pockets were lined to make it a reality.
Yes, as well as building an airport in East New Orleans. I think the current location as about as good as you can get. One of the things that makes NOLA great is all you need is the 20 minute ride from the airport and you're in the heart of the city. Regardless of the reasons, I am glad it is staying where it is. Just need to streamline governance.
If it were in St. James or Ascension with a 50 minute drive to the CBD that wouldn't be good for anyone (not in STJ or AP).

Katrina showed what folly that would have been.

Most major cities kept their older, smaller airports when the new, big one opened outside of town. I wouldn't suppose New Orleans or Baton Rouge would be any different.
The real jewel of this project wasn't passenger travel as much as freight. The potential combination of different modes of transportation inside the same gate would be unparalleled.
