It’s Wednesday, February 22 and 1:22pm in Downtown New Orleans.
Downtown NOLA Works
Downtown NOLA Works is a new website that focuses on Downtown New Orleans' successful and eclectic business people, service providers, creative entrepreneurs and residents. It profiles the people behind some of our city’s most successful companies and initiatives, and lets them tell you directly why Downtown works for them and why this city inspires them in everything they do.
These city leaders are the threads that bind the fabric of the Downtown community. Downtown NOLA Works allows you to interact with these stars, people like yourself who seized the opportunity not just to build a business or career, but to rebuild a legend of a city.
Peer-to-Peer
Participants in the site are there to share with you, in video, text, and photographs, exactly why Downtown is the perfect fit for their business and lifestyle. And with our “Ask Us Anything” feature, you can communicate directly with the established creative class of New Orleans. Ask them what it means to start a business in New Orleans. How to make that first connection. Or the best place to get a Po’ Boy Downtown. They’re ready to answer.
So visit the site, and hear from the front lines on why exactly Downtown is building an environment that promotes collaboration, creativity and innovation.
