Hurricane reconstruction efforts are fueling a strong economy along the Gulf coast, but difficult to meet New Orleans is always to fight back
It is one year later, and only a few of these houses have been rebuilt. Uncertainty about the conditions of buildings and concerns over the future of the storm caused much damage to relocate elsewhere, to occupy their houses session. The story is even worse in other parts of New Orleans, where whole city is flat, and not a house to see the blocks. Although a full year has passed since the devastating hurricane, some 60 percent of New Orleans’ apartment orders remains destroyed, doctors are scarce, and just over half of local businesses are fully operational.
But it’s much more a tale of two cities. Places like the French Quarter, Garden District and Uptown - located above, near the Mississippi River - recovers, with barely a trace of wind that Katrina damage. This dichotomy is a hard reality for the local economy as owners Lee Eagan, la vie, Uptown, but whose sister lived in the south of Lakewood and not in their country of origin. They go to work every day amid the physical and psychological scars of Katrina, try to rebuild what they lost, and give their employees - like himself - a sense of normalcy.
“I think that times are actually stayed for most of us,” says Eagan. “We still have a difficult time recognizing what we have to go.
Eagan is president and CEO of Oliver H. Van Horn Co., online retailers generally, has opened its doors in downtown New Orleans in 1903 and is used throughout the industry, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and South. While sales outside his company from New Orleans are strong, 30 percent came from the city itself was virtually lost after Katrina.
This is a reality for industrial distributors in New Orleans: Many say they would be removed from the business, when they saw forced, in their only New Orleans and return on accounts today. Unless, of the occupied city of construction, distributors represent the largest part of their activity in the whole rest of the state and region. At the same time, she, under pressure from rising costs, for anything that employees insurance, insecurity, what their city looks like 10 years on the road, and perhaps most important is still fragile state of mind that permeates City.
“We are very tired people. We worked 24 / 7 last year, “said Richard Cahn, president of Dixie-mill, another distributor of the industry, which is headquartered in New Orleans. If man is not in the workplace, they are repairing their homes, or help friends and family have lost, he said.
“It concerns everyone, and some more than many,” he continues. “And unfortunately, we are talking about” Katrina “for the rest of our lives here. It is a difficult situation because we have a conversation in this city for a year and is Katrina.
