Description
The Business Stabilization Fund for French Quarter Businesses is a pilot initiative administered by the Greater New Orleans Foundation (via the New Orleans Community Support Foundation), in partnership with the City of New Orleans. The program aims to provide direct financial assistance to businesses in the lower French Quarter that have experienced revenue losses due to ongoing infrastructure construction. The fund is designed to help stabilize key commercial corridors, sustain sales tax revenues, reduce unemployment risk, and prevent urban decay associated with vacant storefronts in this historic district.
