Moreno administration announces over $100 million proposal to stabilize finances in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Mayor Helena Moreno and her administration proposed a deal to put over $100 million net cash into the city’s bottom line to advance efforts in stabilizing city finances on Tuesday, April 28.

A competitive bid sale of future rent revenue will enable the New Orleans Building Corporation (NOBC) and the City of New Orleans to deliver an inflow of more than $100 million to the City’s coffers, according to city leaders.
