MAYOR CANTRELL ISSUES STATEMENT ON LAND SWAP FOR NEW CITY HALL AND CIVIL DISTRICT COURT

NEW ORLEANS — Mayor Cantrell today issued the following statement on the land swap for new City Hall and Civil District Court: 

"This is a big day for the City of New Orleans, particularly for City employees, and for our residents and business owners who access City Hall for government services," said Mayor LaToya Cantrell. 

"The act of exchange whereby the City gains ownership of the State's portion of Duncan Plaza has been a priority of mine since the beginning of my administration, almost six years ago. This paves the way to provide adequate space for a new City Hall and Civil District Court, which will strengthen our workforce and increase our assets, ultimately working to provide better services for our residents. I look forward to continue working with the New Orleans City Council and Governor Landry's Office to make this a reality."
