Overview of Target Recovery Areas

Re-Build areas have experienced severe destruction of physical structures and social networks. These areas will require major rebuilding, and significant public and private investment in order to recover. The Re-Build zones are approximately one-half mile in diameter, although the area can vary slightly.

Lower 9th - Neighborhood Center

New Orleans East Plaza - District Center

Re-Develop areas are places where some recovery components and resources are already present. They have a high potential for attracting investment and acting as a catalyst for further redevelopment and recovery of the affected community. The Re-Develop zones are approximately one-half mile in diameter, although the area can vary slightly.
