NEW ORLEANS — On Wednesday, October 19, 2016, Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s Office of Economic Development will host a Business Information Session designed to connect local entrepreneurs and business owners with useful tools and resources to grow their businesses.
“These quarterly sessions are key to helping our local business owners and entrepreneurs thrive,” said Mayor Landrieu. “When our businesses succeed, our economy gets stronger, more residents gain jobs and we grow the tax base that pays for essential City services.”
