Back in April, the State of Louisiana released an RFP for the redevelopment of the Art-Deco Charity Hospital in Downtown New Orleans. The one million square foot project has been vacant since Katrina.
Last week, Nola.com published three of the developer’s proposal to redevelop the project via a public records request with the state.
