New Orleans Launches Systematic Infrastructure Repair in Holy Cross and Gert Town

The administration of Helena Moreno announced a new neighborhood-by-neighborhood approach to infrastructure repairs in New Orleans. The city will deploy 50 new field workers and an electrical contractor to address issues like potholes, sidewalks, and street signs in areas including Hollygrove, Gert Town, and Holy Cross. Steve Nelson, the city’s deputy chief administrative officer for infrastructure, confirmed that the department will now systematically deploy crews in areas with high complaint volumes.

The city is shifting its response from addressing 311 complaints piecemeal to a focused, holistic effort across entire neighborhoods. This systematic deployment of public works employees and contractors represents a large-scale municipal investment in local infrastructure maintenance.
