Delapp says the city hopes to have the partial design finished by the end of this year. Once that happens, they hope to start construction soon after the 2025 Mardi Gras season.
“If the design stays on schedule, it goes on through the council process on schedule, it goes up to bid and gets a construction contract on schedule then we feel confident we can get it done in 21 months,” added Delapp.
During construction, organizations will have to move their Mardi Gras balls somewhere else. The city says they are working on other venues for them. While construction won’t start for a couple of years, the Army Corps of Engineers building is scheduled to break ground on June 28th. Which will affect parking for the upcoming Mardi Gras season.
“The parking lot that’s traditionally used for parking for the events will be closed for construction of the office building and the parking deck,” said Delapp. “We anticipate the parking deck will be complete and ready to be used for the 25 season.” Delapp says the city is also evaluating whether to keep the expo hall as part of the renovation. Regardless, they hope to have the entire project finished by 2027.
