The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is currently reconstructing Convention Center Boulevard between Poydras and Henderson streets in the Warehouse District. The construction is part of the $557M Convention Center Development District Project that includes converting Convention Center Boulevard into a landscaped public park.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell, City and State officials, as well as neighborhood leaders celebrated completion of the S. Galvez Street Infrastructure Improvement Project with a ribbon cutting ceremony this month.

The Department of Public Works’ construction contractors are approximately 98 percent complete implementing the S. Broad Street Improvement Project between Erato Street and Tulane Avenue.

Command Construction Industries, LLC has completed placing the pervious concrete on the river side of S. Galvez Street between Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Toledano Street. The capacity of both the river and lake side pervious parking lanes is equivalent to 1500 bath tubs worth of water. This project will detain storm water to prevent the City’s pumping system from being overwhelmed during a rain event.
