NEW ORLEANS -- It's a recovery milestone for some New Orleanians who thought they'd never see the day they could come home.
The Housing Authority of New Orleans celebrated the grand opening of the Columbia Parc Senior Center in Gentilly on Wednesday.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu, City Council President Jackie Clarkson and Councilwoman Cynthia Hedge-Morrell were on hand for the ribbon cutting.
Local leaders say the developer spared no expense. The luxury apartments are completely energy efficient and even outfitted with solar panels.
