Twenty-one years ago, Hurricane Katrina changed our region forever.

Today, we remember the extraordinary resilience that carried Greater New Orleans forward after Hurricane Katrina.

In the days and years that followed, and our maritime community worked alongside countless partners to help restore critical infrastructure, reconnect our community and support the recovery of our region.

We honor the strength of those who endured, the dedication of those who answered the call and the resilience that continues to define New Orleans.

Today, we remember. We reflect. And we honor the enduring spirit of our community.

In a recent opinion piece, The Times-Picayune | Nola.com highlighted the Louisiana International Terminal as a critical investment in Louisiana’s maritime future—and emphasized the importance of keeping this transformational project moving forward.

With the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit now secured, LIT has reached a pivotal new chapter. The focus shifts from planning and permitting to preparing for construction and delivering a terminal that will strengthen Louisiana’s position in the global shipping economy.

More than a new terminal, LIT is an investment in jobs, economic opportunity and Louisiana’s future as a global gateway.
