摘要：	Over the course of eight days, the Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) hosted three open houses in St. Bernard Parish to engage residents from the community that will be home to the proposed Louisiana International Terminal (LIT), a new multiphase container terminal and logistics park planned for the east bank of the Mississippi River in Violet, La. Meetings were held on March 9, 15 and 17 in Chalmette, Violet and lower St. Bernard, respectively. Advocates of the project argue that it's crucial for New Orleans and the state of Louisiana to remain competitive with other container terminals on the Gulf Coast and around the country. Currently, air gap restrictions prevent the largest container ships from accessing the port's Napoleon Avenue Container Terminal. "Right now, the Port of New Orleans' Uptown facility is the states only international container terminal," said Laura Mellem, the port's director of emergency management & external affairs, speaking at the meeting in Chalmette. "But because of the Crescent City Connection bridge, the larger vessels-vessels are getting bigger and bigger-aren't going to be able to get under the bridge."
