Hour 2: GNO, Inc. pushes back against a recent reckless CNN piece warning New Orleans must plan for catastrophic sea-level rise

from Newell Normand

This hour, Newell has on Michael Hecht, President & CEO, GNO Inc., to talk about a recent CNN piece with Harvard PhD/Yale Professor Brianna Castro saying she is "optimistic that building a New Orleans 2.0 on safer ground can be done without sacrificing culture” and to "build a great city and people will come; you don’t have to lose the spirit of New Orleans,” HB 1157, which establishes the Louisiana State Infrastructure Bank and Fund to provide loans and financial assistance for transportation infrastructure projects, and more. Then, Chris Abadie, Senior Vice President at Collier’s, joins the show to talk about a submission he's penned for CityBusiness that outlined how Greater New Orleans has shifted from a region of potential to a region of actual, measurable growth with more than $44 billion in industrial development underway across every parish.
