Rosenwald Annex, 1140 S. Broad St.
The New Orleans Recreational Development Commission has opened a senior activity center next to the Rosenwald Recreation Center on South Broad Street.
Available to seniors throughout the year, the Rosenwald Annex fills a gap in services, NORD CEO Larry Barabino Jr. noted during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the end of May.
“‘Something for everyone’ is NORD’s hashtag, our motto,” he said. “But in summer months, our morning senior programs would halt because we take in all of our kids during summer programs. One thing I told our mayor when I first came on is that we need to have something for our seniors year-round.”
Exactly two weeks after Ascension Parish president Clint Cointment proposed a 12-month development moratorium following the latest bout of widespread flooding, the debate over the proposal is heating up.
Several Ascension Parish residents spoke in favor of Parish President Clint Cointment’s proposed 12-month moratorium on development during the May 20 council meeting at the new courthouse in Gonzales.
