Like many New Orleans neighborhoods, ours has it’s share of blighted properties. A blight committee has been formed to work on these issues.
The committee canvasses the neighborhood, noting and photographing run down and blighted properties. They also hope to help rehabilitate the houses of some of our elderly and less affluent neighbors through programs such as Christmas in October and Rebuilding Together New Orleans.
If you would like to participate, please contact Debby Pigman Debbyfdna@gmail.com
