NEW ORLEANS — February 19, 2026 — The City of New Orleans today announced a major step forward in revitalizing Armstrong Park with a $1m combined investment to begin development of a Strategic Master Plan. This funding will start the work on a roadmap to turn Armstrong Park into a world-class cultural space that celebrates our city’s history and culture.
“This administration is proud to prioritize and secure the resources needed to begin this historic work,” said Mayor Helena Moreno. “Armstrong Park is hallowed ground, home to Congo Square, the birthplace of Jazz, as well as our Municipal Auditorium, a historic cultural institution we intend to revitalize and reinvent. This master planning project represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to honor that legacy while creating new cultural, community, and economic development opportunities for Treme and the entire city.”
It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Dr. Norman C. Francis, President Emeritus of Xavier University of Louisiana, a distinguished educator, steadfast civil rights advocate, and transformative leader in our community.

NEW ORLEANS —Mayor Helena Moreno issues the following statement on inappropriate Mardi Gras floats:
“Let me be clear: the display is deeply offensive, unacceptable, and has no place in our city. New Orleans is built on respect, diversity, and inclusion. Actions that seek to demean or intimidate any member of our community violate the very spirit of who we are. Our celebrations, particularly those where our children and families attend, should be spaces of joy and unity, not exposure to hateful or harmful imagery."
