The terror attack on Bourbon street leaves many officials having to revise plans for their office, making sure to take into account new and improved logistical measures and, in some cases, craft messaging that proves New Orleans to not only be resilient but safe.
The office of the Lieutenant Governor takes the charge seriously, Lt. Governor, Billy Nungesser said on WWL Radio, adding it will be a bit of a fight to keep people coming to the city.
"It's something we have to overcome. People will wonder if it's safe," he told WWL's Newell Normand.
So, what will it take to convince people to make or keep their travel plans to the Big Easy, especially a month out from an epic Super Bowl? Nungesser says much will depend on how people perceive the city's response.
City officials are looking to pull together and present a united front that assures residents and visitors they are capable of keeping the streets safe.
Nungesser says this will be key in the decisions people make when it comes to visiting the Crescent City.
And the Lieutenant Governor says he wants visitors to feel assured if anyone can figure it out, it's law enforcement in New Orleans.
"Rest assured they will get it figured out and make The Quarter one of the safest places to visit."
