I’ve worked closely with the Archdiocese of New Orleans, Corpus Christi-Epiphany Church and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority leadership to help facilitate this sale. The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority has made a great investment into our community. The resource center will help reduce blight and place an historic piece of property back into use.”
