Federal City

In 2005, the Algiers Development District was successful in leading the way to save our Naval Support Activity military base from closure through the nationwide Base Realignment and Closure, or BRAC, process.

It was a true team effort with the Algiers Development District, the City of New Orleans, and state and local officials united behind one mission: to work together to sell the Federal City concept to the BRAC Commission. In doing so, the base was not only saved but expanded, and it will be one of the largest economic development initiatives for the state of Louisiana.
