## Resource

The future of one of New Orleans’ most iconic landmarks is taking shape. Tulane University is set to take ownership and lead the $500 million transformation of the former Charity Hospital into a world-class hub for medical research, innovation, education, and economic growth. What does this mean for the city, the state’s bioscience future, and the thousands of jobs the project promises to create? Tulane President Mike Fitz joins Newell to discuss the vision, the timeline, and why he calls this a once-in-a-generation opportunity for New Orleans.
