Is the FMIA in opposition to the relocation of a cold storage facility anywhere?
No, the FMIA and the residents of the Faubourg Marigny recognize the need for the expansion of the cold storage facility within the Port of New Orleans as an important economic step towards the future. However, the location chosen is not in the best interest of the people of New Orleans, and poses significant risks that could be mitigated if the facility was built elsewhere. The FMIA believes that a more stable, long term solution would be to build the plant in an area better suited for this sort of heavy industrial activity.
