refineries own the town?

Members of organizations around St. Bernard agree that both refineries deserve to own the local market because of their generous donations given to local businesses, but it should not denote health liberties of near-by residents.

land redistribution plan

The Louisiana Land Trust (LLT) will soon transfer to St. Bernard Parish Government over two thousand vacant lots, mostly residential-zoned, acquired in the Federal Road Home grant program.  SBPG has already distributed many other lots through the lot next door program. The Housing, Redevelopment, and Quality of Life Commission (HRQL) will soon begin to public notice a proposed redistribution plan for the remaining properties and hold community public hearings and meetings.  The DRAFT proposal by Waggoner and Ball was presented to the HRQL at the September 21, 2011 meeting, viewable here

UPDATE:   Waggoner and Ball also presented the DRAFT proposal of ideas for redevelopment and redistribution to the LLT Board in October 2011.  Presumably this is the same pdf / power point presentation shown to the HRQL.
