ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
The Napoleon Avenue Facility is a historic building that was built in 1892 as a power station for the historic St. Charles Streetcar Line. It was later used as a training and storage facility. In 2005 the building was severely damaged during Hurricane Katrina, which triggered the need to plan for repairs and renovation of the facility. This project is to bring the building to a warm, safe dry status, limited to structural, mechanical, and electrical services to prevent further damage and degradation. This project has been closely coordinated with FTA, SHPO and FEMA.
