Convicted-felon NOLA councilman praises Jazzland redevelopment with $100MIL taxpayer funds

The plan for the massive 227-acre site, includes a water park, athletic facilities, hotels and a movie studio. According to our partners at Nola.com Bayou Phoenix expects 20% of the total cost to come from city, state and federal sources. Which could mean at least $100 million in taxpayer funding.
Councilman Oliver Thomas said, "If they complete their master plan there won't be anything like it within a five-or six-hour drive, wonderful assets for the region, wonderful assets for the city."
He went on to say, "Last year we put a million and five in the budget to start cleaning up and mitigating some of the debris and some of the rides and stuff that we need to move out the way."
Councilman Thomas said the lease approval is a step in the right direction for not just the city, but the residents of New Orleans East.
"I am sick of New Orleans, and I am sick of the conversations about what we want to do and what we're gunna do. We have to start showing our citizens what we did and what's being done," said the Councilman.

They'll never get the funding.
Jazzland will stay undeveloped.
Only part of their plan that deserves support is the container logistics area. Not sure if that is even part of it any longer.

Just another $100M to be pissed away through corruption and straight up theft. The project's end results have already been set on cement.

It’ll do little bit of everything but nothing done well.
Abandon the East. Let it rot
Give me an industrial area which can provide good paying jobs (which likely won’t happen given the flood risk) or give me nothing. Don’t follow the need to redevelop some piece shite theme park from 20 years ago that was only around for 5 years in the first place.

Jazzland was in the works in the 1970s when my dad worked for the planning office for the city of NOLA. It was finally built in 2000 and then destroyed in 2005.
Why don’t they just let it be?

Save the money and return that property to the wild. Let the rattlesnakes and wild hogs have it. Can’t believe anyone would believe this redevelopment is viable.

It’s gonna be great when it floods again and developers collect insurance and run.

This crap idea gets floated every three months are so. It’s kind of like the train service from Nola to BR.
Nobody is going to be dumb enough to fund this stupidity

Oliver doing exactly what he was elected for. Trying to bring money to The East.
I hope he starts with Thw East seceding again. I hope one mayor eventually takes them up on that offer.

Lol
If there is an opportunity for connected “friends “ of the mayor to make money, it will get funded by hook and crook.

This sounds as retarded as the new Ikea in San Fran

This is the only thing that would be feasible. They won’t do it. They are dumb.

Isn't "convicted-felon Nola councilman" an oxymoron?

No, it’s an axiom
