Gov. John Bel Edwards announced a historic public-private partnership between the state of Louisiana, the Port of New Orleans and two global maritime industry leaders to build a $1.8 billion state-of-the-art container facility on the Lower Mississippi River. The Port of New Orleans is proud to partner with Ports America and Terminal Investment Limited (TIL) on the new Louisiana International Terminal in Violet.
In October 2022, Port NOLA announced a revised layout proposal for the Louisiana International Terminal. Guided by community feedback, our engineering team worked hard to design a layout that keeps St. Bernard Highway along the river without compromising terminal operations.
We aim to go above and beyond the federal requirements for public involvement throughout the permitting process. Sign up for email updates on upcoming community meetings and input opportunities.
As we make progress on the planned Louisiana International Terminal in St. Bernard Parish, the Port of New Orleans has hired an outside consultant to conduct additional studies.
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires a range of environmental studies covering topics like traffic, quality of life near the terminal, natural habitat and wildlife, the economy, and more. The outside consultant will conduct those studies and will submit findings to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the proposed terminal project.
