PORTS/NEW ORLEANS: Urges and requests the Port of New Orleans to hold town hall meetings in every St. Bernard Parish Council district regarding the proposed Louisiana International Terminal

This legislative resolution asks the Port of New Orleans to organize town hall meetings in every district of St. Bernard Parish to discuss the proposed Louisiana International Terminal. The bill specifically requests that these public meetings occur within a twenty-day window before September 30, 2024, to allow local residents to share their concerns and learn about the project. While the resolution does not mandate the port's actions, it formally urges the port to listen to community input regarding the terminal's potential impacts on safety and infrastructure. The measure is intended to facilitate direct communication between the port authority and the communities that could be affected by the construction.
