The Downtown Development District implemented the graffiti removal program to assist residents, businesses and property owners in removing graffiti from private property. The most effective deterrent to graffiti is the immediate removal of graffiti.

Funding Available
The DDD will cover 50% of the cost of graffiti removal when residents, businesses, or property owners contract with the DDD's graffiti removal contractor.

Methods
The DDD uses standard graffiti removing solvents available in the industry for concrete, brick, marble, limestone or painted surfaces. In the event that any other methods of graffiti removal are indicated by specific circumstances, DDD will contact the owner for his/her approval before conducting the work.

For more specifics on the DDD's Graffiti Removal Program, contact John Roussell in the Public Space Operations Department at (504) 561-8927 or via email at jroussell [at] neworleansdowntown.com. To participate in the program, download the contract below.
