[quote=Anonymous]The black belt and persistently cheap labor kept large swaths of that region tied to agriculture. Investors soured on New Orleans as hurricanes and the Mississippi River highlighted New Orleans’s unique vulnerability, which was amplified by Houston’s growth following Galveston becoming disfavored. Post Katrina, Amtrak just recently resumed rail service that connects NO to the gulf coast communities of Ala. and Miss. That it has taken this long is astounding and highlights the relative importance these states places on infrastructure in the region [/quote]
