COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HURRICANE KATRINA - WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

THIS EDA INVESTMENT SUPPORTS THE LOUISIANA MUSEUM FOUNDATION (LMF) WITH MAKING CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS AT THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ MUSEUM IN ORLEANS COUNTY, LOUISIANA. THE PROJECT WILL RECONSTRUCT THE FIRST-FLOOR CAFE, CONSTRUCT AN OUTDOOR STAGE, AND MAKE OTHER GROUND IMPROVEMENTS TO ATTRACT NEW VISITORS TO THE MUSEUM, THE CITY, AND OTHER LOCAL ATTRACTIONS. ONCE COMPLETED, THE PROJECT WILL HELP THE REGION BECOME MORE RESILIENT TO FLUCTUATIONS IN TOURISM, WHICH WILL HELP INCREASE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND SPUR PRIVATE INVESTMENT THROUGHOUT THE REGION.
