Description
Description | The Mirabeau Water Gardens project is a major flood control initiative in New Orleans aiming to transform a 25-acre site into a wetlands area capable of storing 10 million gallons of stormwater. It is part of the city's green infrastructure program to improve stormwater absorption and relieve pressure on the drainage system. The project broke ground in December 2023 with the M.R. Pittman Group as the general contractor, with the first phase expected to be completed within 18 months. The project has faced delays due to federal funding uncertainties and design revisions, pushing the timeline to the end of 2025. The site is leased from the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph with a construction deadline initially set for 2022. |
