## Resource

This hour, Newell has on Matt Wolfe, Vice President of Communications at GNO Inc., to discuss French Quarter businesses impacted by nearly a year of Decatur Street construction getting a financial boost, New Orleans' long-sought convention center hotel clearing two major hurdles last week, the University of New Orleans becoming LSU New Orleans, and more. Then, Plaquemines Parish Councilmen Chris Schultz and Ronnie Newsom join the show to discuss some projects underway in the parish (Venture Global, Gulfstream LNG, Peters Road bridge and rail bypass), the port director search, and new directions for the port.
