Overview

The New Orleans Redevelopment Authority property inventory is located within neighborhoods around commercial corridors that should be enhanced to support economic development activity and make surrounding neighborhoods more attractive for new investment.

NORA is committed to the revitalization of commercial corridors near residential neighborhoods to ensure that New Orleans remains a desirable and vibrant place to start and grow small businesses. NORA’s commercial revitalization program portfolio supports corridor revitalization through blight reduction, historic building preservation, and local economic development. NORA remains dedicated to commercial revitalization by championing the success of our local small businesses and breathing new life into some of the city’s most beloved corridors. NORA has achieved this by supporting small business transformation through façade enhancements and grants for direct operating support. NORA aims to expand its assistance within commercial corridors by introducing new programs that offer technical assistance to small businesses, marketing support, the creation of a Small Business Innovation Hub and direct support to Early Childhood Education Centers.
