Morial Convention Center Exhibition Hall Authority (“Authority”) will hold a Public Meeting on Monday, October 21st to solicit public comment on its plans to develop a 1,200 room hotel attached to the Convention Center. The meeting will be held beginning at 6 p.m. in room 220 on the 2nd floor of the Convention Center above Hall B. In May 2018, the Authority authorized its Executive Vice President, Michael Sawaya, to negotiate terms for the hotel and will continue its diligence process until a final financial closing takes place early next year. The new headquarters hotel is a central element in the Authority’s $557 million fiveyear capital improvement plan that includes transformative upgrades to the Convention Center, development of a pedestrian park that is currently under construction, and a 39-acre mixed-use development. According to Authority Executive Vice President, Michael J. Sawaya, “The public meeting is designed to encourage local resident and business owner engagement in the largest investment in our city’s hospitality infrastructure in decades. We are excited by the plans that have developed, the progress we have made in our negotiations with the developer, and how this project will make us more competitive with other leading tourism destinations. As we continue forward, we understand that issues of importance to the public must also be taken into account as we move toward finalizing this milestone agreement.” The newly negotiated proposed agreement represents a significant improvement in economic benefits for the City of New Orleans and State of Louisiana including a reduction of the financial incentive offered to the developer to 17% - far below an industry average of 37% on similar convention center headquarters hotel development projects. (More) Authority To Hold Public Meeting October 15, 2019 Page Two of Three Other concessions obtained by the Authority through these negotiations include:  A property tax payment to the City of New Orleans estimated to be between $3 million and $5 million annually (previously no rebate was contemplated);  A developer obligation of $250,000 in ground lease payments, escalating at 2% per year (the initial draft agreement contained no such provision);  A change in ownership of the hotel parking garage from the Developer to the Convention Center Authority, which will receive $300,000 per year in lease fees. “The concessions we have been able to obtain represent a “sizeable win” for the people of Louisiana and for our city and state governments,” said Melvin Rodrigue, Chairman of the Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Exhibition Hall Authority. “These concessions can give the taxpaying public confidence that the path we are on is the right one for our city and state – a path that will lead to the creation of 1,900 net new permanent jobs and the generation of more than $282 million total economic impact and generate $18 million new tax dollars for the City of New Orleans, and $6 million new tax dollars for the State, all while bringing a long underdeveloped part of our city’s riverfront back into productive commerce.” During the 2019 state legislative session, legislators overwhelmingly passed HB 617/SB which grants the Convention Center Authority the ability to own the planned hotel after the bonds used to finance the hotel are retired. Note: Due to on-going construction along Convention Center Boulevard, persons attending are urged to park in the “whale lot” in front of the Riverwalk Outlet Mall or, if arriving on foot, should cross the Boulevard and enter at Julia Street to ensure their personal safety. Convention Center staff will be available to help direct attendees to the meeting. About the New Orleans Ernest N.

Morial New Orleans Exhibition Hall Authority (Authority), the governing board of the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, received five responses to a Request for Qualifications to identify a Master Developer for its planned mixed-use, upriver development. A nationwide Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued in September, 2019. The five qualified responses came from the following firms:      Atomic Entertainment The Domain Companies River Park Neighborhood Investors, LLC Provident Realty Advisors, McDonnel Construction Services, and Provident Resources Group A Joint Venture Between Woodward, Leventhal, and Carpenter & Company, Inc. All five firms will be interviewed, and a short-list of Master Developers will be issued a request for proposal (RFP). “We are very pleased with the amount of interest and the number of qualified firms responding. These 40 acres are some of the last undeveloped urban real estate in the country, and will be one of the most important and transformative developments for New Orleans and the State of Louisiana in decades,” said Authority Executive Vice President, Michael J. Sawaya. The Authority envisions that the 20 acres will be for a mixed-use development to complement a convention center headquarters hotel already in negotiations. The Authority expects the masterplanned development to be reflective of the unique culture and history of New Orleans, and include elements not commonly found in other parts of the nation. (More) Convention Center Authority Receives Responses to RFQ for Master Developer October 29, 2019 Page Two of Two The Master Developer, expected to be selected early next year, would enter into a long-term agreement with the Authority to create and execute a master-plan that includes residential, entertainment, and retail components. In June of 2018, the Authority approved a $557 million capital improvement plan that included funding to ready the site for development, as well as upgrades to both the interior and exterior of the Convention Center. A 7.5 acre pedestrian park fronting the entire length of the Convention Center is currently under construction, and a Transportation Center for shuttles, taxis, and ride shares recently opened to widespread acclaim. Over the next five years, well over $1 billion will have been invested into the Convention Center and its surrounding complex. This dynamic new economic development is expected to spawn additional private investments similar to the model of the New Orleans Warehouse District, which is home to several thousand residents, and features a vibrant dining, retail, and cultural scene.
