The New Orleans City Council is preparing to sign a Cooperative Endeavor
Agreement (CEA) with BioDistrict New Orleans. This project will affect a large
portion of Mid-City. The Mid-City Neighborhood Organization is sponsoring this
forum. Plans for the BioDistrict will be presented, and there will be an
opportunity for questions from attendees.
Article from August 2021:

"The Greater New Orleans Biosciences Economic Development District
(GNOBEDD), now referred to as BioDistrict New Orleans, is a state-enabled
economic development district (with taxing and bonding authority) that was
created by the State of Louisiana in 2005 and charged with the responsibility
of growing both the programmatic and physical development components of the
biosciences sector of the New Orleans economy." - from https://downtownnola.com/biodistrict-new-orleans/
Again, a sincere thanks to all of you who have called and written the Mayor and
the Council Members regarding the Cooperative Endeavor
Agreement. The Biodistrict and the City have been convinced that
revisions are necessary.
MCNO will hold a public meeting on Thursday, January 20, 2022, 6:30-8:00 PM, at
Warren Easton High School, 3019 Canal St., where the Biodistrict will give a
presentation of their most recent revision of the CEA. This is the
first opportunity for residents and business owners to hear, first-hand, in a
neighborhood forum, from the Biodistrict and to discuss this proposal which can
have a long-lasting impact on the city and its residents.
I have attached an updated fact sheet which summarizes the situation, some of
what has been accomplished and some of the things that still need to be
done. Your attendance at this meeting is imperative to be informed
and to voice your concerns.
Warren Easton is a public school so masks will be required and the cafeteria is large enough for people to spread out. Hand sanitizer will be available.
