Nicole Webre, founder of Weber Consulting and a River District investor and partner of the River District, highlighted the progress anticipated over the next few months.
“In the coming months, we are focused on laying the groundwork for long-term success at the River District,” said Webre in a post on her LinkedIn. “This includes advancing infrastructure improvements and enhancing the area’s connectivity with the rest of New Orleans. We’re excited to see the continuation of environmental remediation and site preparation, which will set the stage for the future multi-use development. This period will also involve collaborating closely with community stakeholders to ensure that the project reflects the needs and values of the people who live and work here. We are committed to maintaining transparency and fostering partnerships that lead to vibrant urban growth, while honoring the rich history of our city. It’s an exciting time, and I look forward to sharing updates as we hit these key milestones.”
Webre also shared her personal vision of “A Neighborhood For All,” which centers on creating an inclusive community where everyone, regardless of background or socioeconomic status, feels they belong. With over a decade of experience in affordable housing development, she believes in thoughtful urban planning that ensures access to diverse housing options and amenities. This vision aims to celebrate the city’s history while making space for future growth and opportunities.
The River District aims to create new construction jobs and new, permanent jobs in Louisiana, thanks to the $1B+ in annual economic activity expected from the development. Moreover, RDNI has committed that participation by SEB/DEB businesses will comprise 30% of the project. The River District has already invested over $2.5 million in small and emerging disadvantaged businesses since work began.
