Esplanade Mall’s Legal and Redevelopment Battle | New Orleans News
from New Orleans News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The Esplanade Mall is in chaos—code violations, boarded windows, and over 70 arrests since the police chief took office. Lawyers for the owner face court this Friday, as city officials demand a proper fence, cleared shrubs, and working lights. The mayor calls their efforts “a band-aid on an open wound,” while Council Member Arita Bohannan labels it the worst blighted property in Jefferson Parish. She’s pushing for $12.5 million from Governor Landry’s Fast Sites Program to buy, demolish, and rebuild the site—potentially turning a liability into a revitalized neighborhood. The fate of the mall hangs in the balance, with legal battles and redevelopment plans racing toward a decision by early next year.
