With the Rebuilding of Ishgard in Shadowbringers...

Wasn't there supposed to be a new settlement in The Lochs supported by Ul'dah? Don't recall heaing more of that after the initial quest down near the saltery.

Not that I recall. The deal between Ul'dah and Ala Mhigo was that Ul'dah would help Ala Mhigo return the Saltery into proper working and living order in return for a cut of the profits made from the sales of Ala Mhigan Rock Salt. The Saltery itself sees some minor aesthetic changes as the patches go by (in effect making it and the enclave our Revenant's Toll and Idyllshire equivalents), with some of the buildings being restored and more flavour NPCs coming and going.

Yea that'll be what I was thinking of. Just mis remembered. Thanks

It was more so the Saltery itself being rebuilt.

Since Nanamo wanted to aid the people of Gyr Abania, without directly just giving them money (As that would come across as being out of pity), it was suggested by Lolorito to aid rebuilding the Saltery.

After which, we help get a few people started back at the Saltery, clearing out enemies and teaching whatshisface how to fight the local fauna while his gramps does the Salt farming stuff.

There was then a series of side quests throughout the patches where things happened such as Lolorito offering jobs to the people in the poor region of Ul'dah trading in Salt from the Saltery - A seemingly genuine gesture, though, literally everyone involved thought he was completely suspect... He did seem to keep his word though and hasn't exploited the scenario for his own gain... Yet...

This lead to an increase in people at the Saltery as it meant they had an income of Gil that made the work worthwhile.

Later, we revisit the Saltery and it's mentioned by whatshisface's grandpa that they're basically back up and running and just need to rebuild the homes to make it a proper settlement again (This is when Nanamo visits while disguised and checks up to make sure they're doing okay and making enough Gil to be sustainable)

In an other, unrelated side quest, we escort some people from Little Ala Mhigo to Ala Mhigo proper, where it's mentioned that there will need to be some rebuilding. Mostly in terms of people asking how the War has affected the place or how they might earn a living once they get there...

So, while not directly a new settlement, there has been information about both the Saltery and Ala Mhigo being rebuilt in the Lochs. With Ul'dah "Supporting" the Saltery by way of aiding with the sales of the salt (With of course, Lolorito getting a cut of the profits by having trade go via the East Aldernard Trading Company. Since, why would you expect anything less )
