February 3, 2026 | From City of New Orleans
Today, Mayor Helena Moreno and the New Orleans City Council announced a $2.8M investment to urgently repair lighting around the city. Prioritized projects include the High Rise bridge in New Orleans East, Interstate 10 and other major routes. Repairs for lighting will also include converting some lighting to solar and aluminum to eliminate the threat of copper theft which has plagued the lighting infrastructure in New Orleans. In addition to repairs across the city, a portion of the funding will be utilized to hire a few electricians within the Department of Public Works to do minor repairs within city buildings. Currently, most minor electrical work is being contracted out. This is more costly.
The funding for this effort comes from a 2018 penalty fine the City Council imposed on Entergy New Orleans for deceptive practices during their efforts to build the New Orleans Power Station. A portion of the $5M fine for what was called the “Paid Actors Scandal” has been spent over time by the City Council, yet $2.8M remains.
