AGP Executive Report

Last update: 43 minutes ago

Tourism & Travel: New Orleans’ Acamaya just landed a major spotlight, named the best Mexican restaurant in the U.S. by The New York Times—an easy reason to plan a Bywater food stop (reservations recommended). Public Health for Travelers: Louisiana health officials are warning about bacteria and algae risks in lakes and waterways during extreme heat, urging people to follow posted advisories before swimming. Roads & Getting Around: DOTD is starting nighttime striping work on 11 miles of I-49 in Caddo Parish (from I-220 to the LA 173 interchange) beginning Sunday, with lane/shoulder closures expected into late fall. Local Economy & Sports: A Louisiana Illuminator report says the state’s college sports programs are losing money, and leaders are looking at sales-tax strategies (like economic development districts) to stabilize athletics budgets. New Orleans Hotel Watch: A proposed Omni hotel near the convention center hit a roadblock over $800 million in tax rebate backing. Community Events: Fontainebleau State Park’s beach was named Louisiana’s top picnic spot in a national ranking.
