A massive development from the owner of Tipitina's planned for South Shore Marina along Lake Pontchartrain got City Council’s approval yesterday.
The project, now called Lakeshore Landing, calls for a 5,000-person theater, restaurants, and retail space at the former site of the Bally's riverboat casino landing. The site would also include a fuel dock and marina supply and convenience store, plus a boathouse for the National World War II Museum to house a restored Navy torpedo boat.
The council approved the project unanimously (excluding a vote from Stacy Head, who was absent).
