Description

This site is positioned near the new Chalmette High School and the Valero Meraux Refinery, located east of Paris Road and just west of Meraux. It sits only a few blocks from the expanded Ranch Film Studio office headquarters and the St. Bernard Chamber of Commerce. The property is surrounded by major retailers including Super Walmart, Home Depot, and Tractor Supply. Fronting E. Judge Perez Drive—the primary commercial corridor through Chalmette—it serves as a direct route for nearby communities such as Hopedale, Delacroix, Reggio, and Pointe la Hache, all of which rely on this road for access to goods and services, resulting in a broad trade area. Chalmette falls within the New Orleans MSA and is part of St. Bernard Parish. Plans to relocate the Port of New Orleans further downriver are expected to significantly boost local economic growth, particularly since the new location will accommodate Neo-Panamax ships that cannot currently be serviced at the upriver terminal, potentially strengthening the port’s competitiveness with Houston.
