Dear St. Bernard Parish Citizens:

I want to address recent talk in the community about the Port of New Orleans’ proposed development of a container terminal in Violet.

The two newest members of the St. Bernard Port, Harbor & Terminal District’s Board of Commissioners bring with them a wealth of maritime knowledge and experience that spans several decades.

Walter J. Cure IV and Jeanne E. Ferrer were both installed in a ceremony held prior to the July 13 meeting of the board.

In this episode, originally recorded April 30th, 2021, host Meaghan McCormack of the St. Bernard Economic Development Foundation sits down with Brandy Christian, President & CEO of the Port of New Orleans and CEO of the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad, and Drew Heaphy, Executive Director at the St. Bernard Port, Harbor, and Terminal District, to talk about the potential development of the container port in Violet, LA.

For the past five years, local maritime leaders have recognized the region’s rich maritime history and honored its hardworking men and women by celebrating “Maritime Month” each May, with National Maritime Day taking place on May 22.

“The St. Bernard Port, Harbor & Terminal District recently entered into a long-term lease agreement with one of the parish’s largest companies,” said Port Executive Director Drew Heaphy.

American Sugar Refining, Inc. (ASR), a member of ASR Group and owner of the Domino® Sugar Chalmette Refinery, signed a 10-year lease for an 80,000 square-foot warehouse facility at the Port’s Chalmette Terminal.

It is with great sorrow and our deepest regrets that we acknowledge the news of the passing of a valued member of our Board of Commissioners, Mr. William T. Bergeron.
