Manning worked with a coalition of ministers to develop a property destroyed by Katrina that provided a seminary and community resources. Structures on the city block were demolished after Katrina, creating the opportunity for full redevelopment. Design is underway with an approach that arranges the buildings along the perimeter of the site with landscaped parking within the interior of the block in a planning scheme sympathetic to the urban context. The mixed-use project includes much needed housing targeting senior and affordable living, a seminary and learning center, and commercial space.
