> Facility
>
> An Invitation from Chris Bonura, Manager of Communications for the  
> Port of New Orleans:
>
> The Port of New Orleans will hold a second public informational  
> meeting to discuss plans for building a refrigerated terminal at  
> Gov. Nicholls on Thursday, Dec. 11 between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at  
> the New Orleans Center For the Creative Arts (NOCCA), 2800 Chartres  
> Street in the Jazz concert room.
>
> Members of Port staff and the project design team will be available  
> to discuss the project and field questions. The Gov. Nicholls Street  
> Wharf is currently used to handle cargo overflow. After looking at  
> several alternate sites, the Port has decided to move its  
> refrigerated terminal to the Gov. Nicholls Street Wharf. With the  
> impending closure of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, waterborne  
> access to the Port's existing refrigerated cargo terminal at Jourdan  
> Road has been compromised. The Port believes the terminal capacity  
> must be moved to the river to retain jobs.
>
> The content and the format will be similar to the meeting held on  
> Sept. 30 in the Port administration building. The second meeting is  
> being held in the neighborhood to allow for more public dialog. For  
> more information, please visit the www.portno.com and click on the  
> Gov. Nicholls meeting icon.
