Description
The owners of the former Lindy Boggs Medical Center have put it up for sale.
They say it is a "backup plan" while they work to get federal funding to redevelop the site, which has sat abandoned since Hurricane Katrina.
Bill Hoffman and Paul Flower with the firm Woodward Design + Build bought the site in 2021. They planned to turn it into a continuum of care for elderly patients.
"One of the main reasons we got involved with this property was it’s right down the street from our office... we wanted to renovate it and take the blight out of the neighborhood," Hoffman told WWL-TV.
But that project has faced setbacks, according to Hoffman. The biggest has been a struggle to get funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, since the property sits in a flood zone. Hoffman says the plans cannot move forward without that money.
