View Our Research

Our effort is supported by the hard work of community members and allies dedicated to sourcing accurate, up-to-date information regarding the push to reindustrialize the Lower 9th Ward. This work includes communicating directly with the Port of New Orleans, Sunrise Foods International, and other stakeholders, submitting Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, and conducting other original research.

In the interest of transparency, we would like to make this information available to the public. Feel free to browse the research available below – and be sure to check back regularly, since this body of knowledge continues to grow as we uncover more about the port and company’s attempt to develop an industrial district in the heart of our community.
