Abstract
In order to address the lack of a fresh food retailer in the Lower Ninth Ward, a need that has been repeatedly expressed in a variety of community meetings and plans, we propose thedevelopment of a grocery store on the 5523 block of St. Claude Avenue. This site sits in a city-designated Housing Opportunity Zone and is strategically located on a major commercial corridor that is accessible by public transit. It is also at the center of a variety of public and non-profit foundation investments in the neighborhood.
