Are there any ideas to spur growth and land use in NOLA East?
It's a pretty large area. Even if you don't count Michoud / Venetian Isles / All of the asian areas, you still have from the industrial canal to 510, and lake to the intracoastal waterway.
There was a plan to build out some entertainment options out near Lakefront Airport, but the dude went broke (was the guy in charge of Tipitina's).
You can't do anything out there until you get tough on the crime. Do that, then you can start redeveloping pockets. I'd work on that area near Lakefront Airport, the Read to Bullard / Lake Forest area, and see where that gets you.

Strategically place 4 (a certain bird & a certain extra large fruit) restaurants in a trapezoidal pattern from the Bridge to Chamelfghanistan.
Problem solved...

Once Gravy is finished revitalizing North Baton Rouge, LaToya can hire him to fix the East.

What about a water park?
Fill it with water from the Intracoastal?

When y'all figure it out please let Kenner know. They're about five years away from being Nola East

It’s New Orleans East. Maybe aim a little lower - like a waste processing facility or scrapyard.

Lots of threads about it should help.

Move everyone out and demo everything. Install a diversion structure to the river and let the marsh growing begin. Also lease out the area for duck hunting. Win win.
I am serious, the city is a goner it's only a matter if time.

NO GOOD RESTAURANTS IN THE EAST
Put a Whole Foods out there.
Posted on 8/20/19 at 9:15 pm to LuckyTiger
Like one of those charity Whole Foods that they put in shitty neighborhoods?

At the following link is a downloadable article, and in it is a scan of a development map from 1959 of what was once supposed to be "New Orleans East, Incorporated. Homes with water access, and shopping was planned off all of these phantom exits between I-10 and US Hwy 11.
Lake Forest Blvd was supposed to be the "New" New Orleans, rivaling St. Charles and surrounding areas in affluence. There are some large homes near there now that were already built.
Just look at the "New Orleans East" sign that is still there as you are leaving the city. The entire area was supposed to be developed.
Check out this paper, it's a fascinating read on why NO East became the way it is, and what could have been under different circumstances.

They missed the opportunity after Katrina.
They should have done a massive buyout and built a state of the art airport/transportation center (one where the toilets work) and surrounded it with its own levee and pumping station.
If that was built, industry to support it would have followed.

Giant animal park with exotic animals that you drive through like a safari?
That’s kinda what it is already. However, the animals are not exotic.

When you consider how many people have moved to the Northshore, which is so much further away, it's a damn shame they haven't been able to turn the East into what it was supposed to be: all the benefits of suburban living while still being within the city and being just down the road (I-10) to downtown. The idea was great, in concept.
I had family when I was little (the 80s) that lived out there and it was a nice place to be. Decent infrastructure, shopping, entertainment. Eastover used to be great to play some golf. But it started going to hell way before Katrina. I am happy that the Nature Center is back. That was one of my favorite places to go as a kid. I just hope that it's still around when my daughter is old enough to appreciate it.
