On Thursday, August 26, 2010, state and federal officials from Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida will join with local community stakeholders to launch the Gulf Coast Economy: Ready 4 Takeoff Coalition.
Over the last decade, the Gulf Coast has been forced to bear the brunt of unprecedented economic challenges, ranging from the severe devastation brought on by Hurricanes Katrina, Ivan and Rita, and most recently, the epic man-made oil spill that tragically struck the coastal communities in April, further crippling the environmental and economic health of the region. The Gulf Coast Ready 4 Takeoff Coalition, comprised of a broad cross-section of public, private, non-profit and academic leaders, promotes the strength and diversity of the Gulf’s economic and cultural assets and advocates regional economic development initiatives that will revitalize the coastal states. Join us at our press conference to learn more about the group and the initiatives we support on Thursday, August 26, 2010, at 1:00 p.m. at the Marriott Hotel, 555 Canal Street, New Orleans, Louisiana.
