LGBT Community Center Seeks New Home After Vandalism
The LGBT Community Center of New Orleans is looking for a new home after the exterior of the Centers administrative office and program space located at 2727 S. Broad Street was vandalized late last summer and the property management company is demanding payment for those and other repairs, according to Santos Rodriguez, the Centers interim president. In an attempt to enter the site after hours, thieves smashed the buildings two large storm windows. Though the perpetrators were not able to break through the industrial-strength glass, repair costs for the windows and the HVAC system, which had also recently gone out, are estimated at $6,000. In addition the Center is several months in arrears on the buildings rent. Both the NOPD and the FBI were contacted after the vandalism. No arrests were made.
