A new highway connecting the Port of New Orleans with I-10 would reduce congestion in the city and improve the economics of the Port. Rep. Wright’s HB 687 would authorize the state and Port to enter into a P3 to build it, a proven method successfully used in several cities, like Miami’s port tunnel

The good news is the building of new apartments is hitting record highs and helping lower rents. I think that is in large part due to some state and local governments waking up and liberalizing some local housing markets. stateline.org/2025/05/01/t...
