New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno released the “Building a Stronger New Orleans: First Six Months” report.
The report highlights the administration’s work since Moreno took office in January.
“I’m proud of what our team has accomplished in just six months, especially considering the challenges we inherited, but I know there is still so much work to do. Every single day we work with urgency for the people of New Orleans. You are my top priority. We will keep tackling our financial challenges responsibly, improving city services, making our neighborhoods safer, creating more opportunity, and building a stronger New Orleans. We are just getting started.”
Some of that work includes strengthening the city’s finances, improving public safety, and investing in neighborhoods, modernizing infrastructure, and laying the foundation for long-term economic growth.
According to the report, the administration rebuilt more than $100 million in emergency revenue, securing $125 million in additional revenues, repaying the City’s Revenue Anticipation Note on time, and submitting the 2025 audit on time.
The administration says it repaired more than 5,100 streetlights, repaired over 15,000 potholes, and completed more than 1,300 linear feet of sidewalk improvements.
They also advanced Sewerage and Water Board reform by securing state legislation that would give the city and city council greater oversight and launching the Public Utility Modernization Process to prepare for local legislative changes for improved accountability and outcomes.
