New Orleans City Business - The New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy has signed an agreement with the Algiers Development District to allow the school to expand at the former Federal City site.

The three-year lease option grants NOMMA the ability to expand their campus and have additional space for academic instruction, indoor and outdoor dining, a gymnasium and a career and technical education center to serve the school’s rising enrollment, a news release said.

The option allows NOMMA to assume control of two additional parcels for building expansion on approximately 3.1 acres located directly behind the school on Patterson Road and land and buildings directly across from the front of the school. In addition, a third parcel of 5.3 acres will serve as the athletic field once the New Orleans Police Department exits the site in 2022.
