New Orleans Showing Signs of Recovery, But Still Faces Serious Problems, Brookings Report Says

摘要

One year after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is showing signs of recovery, but the city still has a long way to go, according to a report by the Brookings Institution. "The housing market is beginning to turn around and increased business and visitor travel have helped bolster the region's tax base and economy," the report says. It adds, however, that "the majority of indicators are troubling, pointing to much-needed progress in basic city services, infrastructure, and affordable housing for workers in order to boost market confidence and move the region's economy affirmatively forward."
