New Orleans, La. - Expect to see a section of downtown New Orleans go through a rebirth.

According to our partners at CityBusiness, multiple projects are in the works to transform blocks within walking distance of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The first project is a residential-retail building on the north side of O'Keefe Avenue between Lafayette and Girod Streets. Another project would renovate additional retail space that's nearby.

Combined, the projects would add 47,000 square feet of retail space and hundreds of new apartments to the area.

Developers have not said yet when they expect to complete their projects.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -

Smokers could soon have to watch where they smoke outside Louisiana government buildings, if a House bill passes through this session.

HB 111 by Rep. Frank Hoffman, R-West Monroe, is scheduled for Senate debate Tuesday. It would require smokers to be at least 25 feet away from state buildings.

The bill would not apply to any building built by local or parish governments, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome or the New Orleans Arena.
