Comments: |
This seems to be an important music landmark.
Rather than using FEMA funds on its demolition, why not urge the City of New Orleans to offer it for auction as a property adjudicated for nonpayment of taxes? Per the assessor's web site, the building has been tax delinquent since 1990 and twice been adjudicated.
If the property were auctioned (as the city is doing with other tax adjudicated properties it owns), no doubt those advocating for an ownership change would purchase it.
If the property is auctioned, the city would recoup some of the back taxes and FEMA would save tax payer dollars to be used for a different purpose. |
