Gateway Development Consortium's Larry English says, "If you're going to really develop Cross Bayou...and it's going to take you at least a decade to do that."
The City Council will hear the Gateway Development Consortium's presentation at their working session on May 21, then plan to vote at their meeting the next day.
Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser says "for thirty years we've been talking about cleaning up the French Quarter, getting crime under control, and it just hasn't happened."
Rep. Seabaugh says, "I don't say this very often, but I agree with Cedric Glover on this one. It's an idea that...probably should have been done a long time ago."
Nungesser says, "We're looking at an option, thinking outside the box, talking with city officials about the possibility of making the French Quarter a state park."
