Water park/resort would probably do best.

Those imbeciles better take whatever they can get now because it's only getting worse and it has been sitting and rotting for 10+ years as it is. It's located in New Orleans East which is the shithole of all shitholes and these morons think they deserve some special offer worth more than the millions that some people are offering. Knowing the location and mess that is on the land currently, if someone offered $1000 in cash I'd make a deal in a second and celebrate.

Let me help you with translating the Boards statement into plain English:
No one has offered to pay us off yet so we intend to hold up the process until we get our cut.

How many acres is that space

This has been dragging on for years. The board has serious delusions of grandeur.

It's just over 220 acres in all. 65 or so were not developed and it is basically marshland. The best part is that they spend $14,000 per month on 24-hour security. They've been spending over $200,000 per year on maintaining a dump of a site and the money is almost out, so they basically will have to let it go one way or the other. They should have let it go years ago already, but no, they will only be forced to act when they are out of money (and they are down to the last $200,000).

I assume they had to secure the site due to liability issues but damn, I want to see the revenues that justifies that expense. Good grief

Someone who is making the decision on the proposed offer is indirectly profiting off of the security and other property mantainence. If it sells, the 200k/year contract is gone

What a bunch of fricking idiots

Props to the guy that stood up in the middle of the meeting, announced a 5 mill bid, and then left before the meeting was over

Only in freaking Nola would the city sit on a fricking abandoned theme park for 10+ years because the offers weren't good enough.

A Tonya leading a group capable of offering $3.26 million has to be the most successful Tonya of all time.

Six Flags never reopened after Hurricane Katrina, and the city inherited the abandoned park. Then-Mayor Ray Nagin's administration asked the Industrial Development Board -- which typically focuses on doling out economic incentives to real estate projects rather than owning property -- to take over title to the land.
Didn't jazzland close before Katrina? Like days before

City of New Orleans corruption at its best
Posted on 2/15/17 at 6:59 am to XGLDNBAND
developers would find the bodies. we can't have that.
Posted on 2/15/17 at 7:05 am to XGLDNBAND
The corrupt idiots on the industrial development board won't sell it until some of the profits go to lining their wallets. That's the only reason a $4.5 million offer would be turned down and a 3.25 million offer get accepted instead
