The Blue Plate building conversion has begun, and the first units scheduled for occupancy March, 2012.

It's sort of bittersweet in my opinion. I love the building, but wish New Orleans had more manufacturing jobs and less subsidized rental units. Nevertheless, I'm confident this conversion will be well-done, and certainly a big gain for the neighborhood.

These buildings really arent functional for modern manufacturing so its either this or tear down! Im happy to see this building being put to good use.
