This paper is a case study of the redevelopment of the Naval Support Activity
East Bank site located at 4400 Dauphine Street in the Bywater neighborhood of New
Orleans, Louisiana. Since Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, the City of New Orleans
and the federal government have been trying to find the highest and best use for this
federally owned site, which has since been subject to BRAC legislation, or Base Re-Alignment and Closure. The City created the New Orleans Advisory Task Force
(NOATF) in November 2011 to oversee the process and come up with a plan for the
acquisition, redevelopment, and operation of the new facility. Their plan is to create
an international disaster management, recovery, and resilience center that could
serve as a hub for not only disaster preparedness for the region, country, or
potentially the world, but also a place for innovation and evolution of the disaster
management industry. With these goals in mind, the NOATF has taken on a massive
engagement of public and private partners that should help with the complex
financing mechanisms, the ownership and management of the property, and the
sustainability goals expected to be reached upon completion. / 0 / SPK / specialcollections@tulane.edu
