City of New Orleans Hosts Third Set of Lincoln Beach Redevelopment Master Plan Public Meetings

The City of New Orleans, Office of Resilience and Sustainability, and the Lincoln Beach Redevelopment Master Plan Consultant team will host the third set of public engagement meetings in New Orleans East on Thursday, November 7, 2024.  

Thursday's meetings will display the preferred thirty programming elements previously identified through community input. Residents will be asked to prioritize their top five desired program elements within the budget for Phase One of the redevelopment and reopening of Lincoln Beach.

For the success of this redevelopment project, it is essential to have diverse participation and solicit valuable community input from all constituents throughout the City of New Orleans and its metro area.

What: Lincoln Beach Redevelopment Master Plan Public Milestone Meeting #3

Session #1:   8:30 A.M. - 10:30 A.M., Thursday, November 7, 2024

Session #2:  6:30 P.M. - 8:00 P.M., Thursday, November 7, 2024

Where: Franklin Avenue Baptist Church

Language Access: In-person Spanish interpreters will be available.

Meeting participants are asked to pre-register for the community meetings by visiting https://LincolnBeach.nola.gov.

The same information will be covered during both events. Residents who cannot attend the in-person meeting may submit feedback via an online survey between Nov. 7 - Nov. 24, 2024. The online survey will be available at https://lincolnbeach.nola.gov.

The City reminds residents that Lincoln Beach is currently closed to the public due to the presence of alligators, venomous snakes and poisonous flora. Gathering at the beach is prohibited. In the nearly twenty years since Hurricane Katrina, residents have consistently voiced the importance of revitalizing Lincoln Beach in New Orleans East. In response to the community's plea and working with the congressional delegation, the City allocated $24.6M in 2023 to begin the engineering and master planning process.

Public Meetings 1 and 2 introduced and welcomed over 200 community members to the Lincoln Beach Redevelopment process. Those meetings were aspirational and helped to craft the project goals, guiding principles, and initial programming priorities. The findings from those public meetings, shaped by resident feedback, defined the programming, planning, design concepts, and the redevelopment strategy, demonstrating the significant influence of community input.
