Decatur Street Gets Financial Lifeline | New Orleans News
Description
New Orleans is pouring serious cash into Decatur Street’s recovery, handing out $97,500 to 26 businesses as part of a $200,000 city grant — and they’re holding more funds to support those who missed deadlines or are still in the thick of construction chaos. This comes after a massive Sewerage and Water Board project crippled local businesses for months, with some losing millions and three forced to close permanently — even sparking legal battles. But hope is rising: a July 17th settlement means the board will remove barricades, pause water shut-offs for six months, and work to restore normalcy — a crucial step toward healing Decatur Street’s vibrant business district.
