Recent actions in the state legislature have put economic development on the front burner. State economic development officials now have nearly a half billion dollars to support their efforts to attract businesses and expand existing businesses. Also, many taxes considered unfriendly to business have been eliminated, such as taxes on investments, utilities and debt.
We have a business community that recognizes the opportunity and the swing of momentum currently under way. There has never been more investment than there is right now, and the Greater New Orleans Region is focused on taking advantage of the momentum and building on the opportunities together.
