It was our understanding, according to an article in yesterday's Times-Picayune (http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2010/11/land_holdups_at_va_hospital_si.html), that the state intends to move houses on the UMC side of the hospitals footprint.
To our disappointment, after yesterday's story, the state's contractors actually ramped up dismantling of homes today in the UMC Footprint. Salvage and demolition operations now underway are being conducted in a manner that leaves the houses unfit to move.
This is unacceptable!
Please join us in calling upon our city, state, and federal officials to stop the unnecessary demolitions and salvage operations that are eliminating the historic attributes of these houses, which defeats the purpose of moving them.
We also ask you to demand better treatment for the people living in the UMC site - especially after the mistreatment of so many people in the VA Hospital Footprint.
Federal, State and City contact resources listed below.
The state and city would not be facing nearly as many contentious issues at this juncture if they had simply considered reusing the Rev. Avery C. Alexander Charity Hospital building.
