Parish officials said the apartment complex was in poor condition and a safety hazard to the area.
'I hope this to be the place where Jefferson Parish wants to come and just hang out. We have great restaurants. I mean the walkability of Fat City; we do have the bones here to make this a great place. We just need to get rid of the last remaining seediness, and this is the beginning of that,' said Liljeberg.
Parish officials said the demolition is expected to take about three weeks.22 Democrats flip to no on Trump Transportation pick after OMB pauses funding
