CONCEPTUAL PROJECT F

ODILE DAVIS PARK

PROPERTY OWNER - CITY OF NEW ORLEANS, NORD

ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST - $4.7 M

ESTIMATED STORAGE VOLUME - 125,698 CF

Odile Davis Park is under CNO jurisdiction and is located within a hotspot area. This open field park provides an opportunity for a large subsurface detention tank, and at the same time, improvements can be made to make the park into a fun gathering place. These improvement can have a widespread benefit for flooding in the neighborhood.

Funding for this project is made possible through a grant by Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Grant Program, managed by FEMA and administered through GOHSEP

 

Funding for the previous study was made possible with matching funds provided by National Academy of Science and Engineering Gulf of Mexico Research Program

 

The initial neighborhood study was a resident driven project led by Healthy Community Services, Water Wise Gulf South, and Bunny Friend Neighborhood Association. The data they gathered allowed them to pursue additional funding resulting in the project we are presenting today. Bringing these proposed projects to conceptual design with solid data to support them, including a Benefit Cost Analysis for each, is the next step in the implementation process.
