Councilmember Brossett Issues Statement on the

Sale and Demolition of the Lake Terrace Shopping Center

District "D"

Councilmember Brossett

New Orleans, LA - Vacant and blighted properties are easy to find and hard to ignore. In New Orleans, many residents live, work, and shop near vacant property that has been abandoned for years.

Blighted properties with boarded up windows and weed-choked lots are a public nuisance that lead to the further deterioration of surrounding neighborhoods and attract vagrants, crime, and graffiti. That is why my fight to reduce blight focuses not only on residential properties, but also on blighted commercial properties that continue to mar the city's landscape.

The former Lake Terrace Shopping Center is one of those blighted commercial properties that has marred our city's landscape for a decade. Since taking office in May 2014, my staff and I have aggressively worked with stakeholders and neighbors to facilitate the redevelopment of this commercial property. Now after years of sitting vacant and blighted, the property was sold to local developer Kenneth Lobell and is being demolished. Within six months of demolition, Mr. Lobell is required to begin construction on a new commercial development which will likely include a bank branch and more than 6,000 square feet of general retail space. The neighborhoods surrounding the former Lake Terrace Shopping Center are at a tipping point and this redevelopment will be pivotal in the transformation of this area.

As a city, we need to think about what resources we have, where we want to be, and how we are going to get there given the resources we have. One of my top objectives is to invest in the resources we already have by reducing blight and putting commercial properties like the Lake Terrace Shopping Center back into productive use. This will increase economic development, promote neighborhood stabilization, and make neighborhoods throughout the city a more vibrant and attractive place where people what to live. By simultaneously targeting vacant residential lots as well as commercial blight, we are able to make the biggest impact on neighborhood revitalization.
