There are a number of sites that are available for this expansion of the New Orleans Cold Storage facility. Currently, the state is paying a subsidy to the company in order to shuttle freight to their facility that cannot come directly due to the recent closure of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO). The Esplanade / Governor Nicholls wharf site is not the best option as it harms the viability of the local tourist trade and is essentially a step in the wrong direction, developmentally, for this neighborhood.
