NEW ORLEANS – Each year the Urban Conservancy and StayLocal honor three individuals who have been instrumental in shaping a vision for a vibrant and resilient New Orleans
The deadline is Monday, August 15, 2016, to nominate individuals whose work reflects the UC’s core values and who are taking innovative approaches as great connectors between major city projects and efforts at the neighborhood level.
Urban Heroes is the Urban Conservancy's yearly fundraiser that highlights progress of the organization as a community to promote equitable access to the city’s and the region’s rich economic, environmental and cultural assets. Funds raised will help build a robust local economy founded on local ownership and help align natural and built environments, UC reps said.
