Marking a milestone in the sluggish recovery of eastern New Orleans, Mayor Mitch Landrieu and a bevy of elected leaders officially broke ground Friday on major renovations to the indoor pool atJoe Brown Park.
The $2.2 million project, which includes restoration of the pool and locker rooms and installation of a saltwater chlorination system, is among several jobs worth at least $18.2 million that in coming months are expected to restore the 135-acre park along Read Boulevard into the hive of activity it boasted before Hurricane Katrina.
