Ok , suppose I own a major manufacturing business and I need to be located next to a major river to receive my raw materials and ship out my finished product.
The Mississippi River looks good.
I need a educated work force that is dependable.
I need a low tax rate.
I need dependable electrical power.

New Orleans strikes out because of the taxes are too high and no dependable educated workforce.
Also I might get wiped out by a hurricane and the insurance system in Louisiana is collapsing.
New Orleans is doomed until they can turn these items around.
The next mayor has too be a completely different person if it is ever to come back.

Don’t forget the graft and payoffs a company has to face to even begin to do business in N.O. People in any position of power come out of the woodwork looking for a payoff to facilitate things. And then the family members of those powerful people show up looking for their piece of the pie.

New Orleans rarely gets a desirable business to open shop in Orleans Parish until the company has been wildly successful in other parts of the country for years. Whole Foods, COSTCO, Top Golf, etc. get residents excited when they are rumored to be interested in the N.O. market but people should really get frustrated and ask the folks in charge “what took so long?”
