NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — A groundbreaking has happened for a new development which will bring 36 affordable homes to the Hollygrove neighborhood.

They will also be built to be more durable before and after a natural disaster.
'Every single one will have emergency backup power, and it will be dedicated to an emergency circuit. So in the event of a hurricane, tenants don't come back to a home with spoiled food, which is one of the highest costs in a disaster that they had faced,' said Paul Irons with New Orleans Restoration Properties.
The project is expected to be completed some time in 2026.Woman injured following Hollygrove shooting

Former Saints football chief Wilcox wins shock promotion at Man United

(Image: PA) FORMER Saints chief Jason Wilcox has reportedly been promoted to Manchester United's director of football in a restructure at Old Trafford. Wilcox, 53, departed St Mary's in April last year after nine months as director of football to become Man United's new technical director. Advertisement The Red Devils ended last season trophy-less after defeat to Spurs in the Europa League final, and finished 15th in the Premier League. It is by far the English giant's worst campaign of the Premier League era, having placed eighth the previous campaign and winning the FA Cup. However, Wilcox is widely reported to have won a promotion to become Man United's new director of football, in a position of increased seniority. Jason Wilcox pictured with minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe (Image: PA) Wilcox, who was academy chief at Man City before joining Saints in 2023, helped engineer the St Mary's side's Championship promotion. Advertisement But he departed before the job was done in April 2024, and was formally replaced just under a year later by technical director Johannes Spors. Saints received £1.7m in compensation payments last year, with these payments likely made up by compensation for Wilcox's early release. Wilcox was instrumental in the hiring of struggling current Man United manager Ruben Amorim, who has won just seven of 27 league games. Furthermore, Sir Dave Brailsford is set to reduce his role at Man United under a reshuffle being planned by minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Brailsford has played a major part since Ratcliffe secured his stake in February 2024, but will return to his wider role as director of sport Ineos.

Countdown to Kickoff: John Ridgeway III is the Saints Player of Day 95
Countdown to Kickoff: John Ridgeway III is the Saints Player of Day 95 Ridgeway is part of a crowded competition on the Saints defensive line There are now 95 days until the New Orleans Saints open their 2025 regular season against the Arizona Cardinals on September 7. Defensive tackle John Ridgeway currently wears No. 95 for New Orleans. He's in his second year with the team but is the seventh player since 2018 to wear the number. Let's have a closer look at Ridgeway, our Saints Player of the Day. At Bloomington High School in Illinois, Ridgeway was an all-state performer in both football and wrestling as well as a star in the shot put and discus. From there, he'd initially attend Illinois State and starred for three years. Ridgeway was a 1st Team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection in 2020. After that season, he'd transfer to Arkansas. In his only year with the Razorbacks, Ridgeway had 2 sacks and 4 tackles for loss among his 39 total stops. The Dallas Cowboys selected Ridgeway in Round 5 of the 2022 NFL Draft. Dallas released him one week into the regular season, when Washington swooped him to sign him off waivers. Ridgeway would appear in 32 games for Washington over the next two seasons, starting six contests and playing 31% of the defensive snaps. He'd have a total of 55 tackles, with none for negative yardage and no sacks but one forced fumble. During training camp last year, the Saints acquired Ridgeway in a trade. New Orleans dealt a sixth round choice in the 2025 draft in exchange for Ridgeway and a Round 7 pick in this year's draft. Ultimately, Washington would deal that Round 6 pick back to New Orleans as part of last year's trade for Marshon Lattimore. Also included in that trade was New Orleans trading a fifth round pick to Washington and receiving Washington's Round 3 and Round 4 choices back in return. With those draft picks, the Saints chose Virginia safety Jonas Sanker in the third round, Louisville cornerback Quincy Riley in the fourth. Ridgeway played in 13 games for the Saints last season, but only appeared in 28% of the defensive snaps. He managed 15 total tackles, including his first career tackle for negative yardage. In 2025, he'll face stiff competition for a roster spot. New defensive coordinator Brandon Staley is likely going to switch from a 4-3 to a base 3-4 system, leaving fewer spots up for grabs. Along with Ridgeway, the Saints also return Bryan Bresee, Nathan Shepherd, Khalen Saunders, and Khristian Boyd at defensive tackle. Additionally, New Orleans traded for nose tackle Davon Godchaux and used a Round 3 draft choice on Texas Longhorns defensive tackle Vernon Broughton. John Ridgeway III will have his work cut out for him to wear No. 95 for a second consecutive season in New Orleans.
