NOLA Tricentennial

[NOLA Tricentennial @NOLA300th]

The City launched the Economic Opportunity Strategy to prepare #NOLA jobseekers for careers. Programs like @STRIVEINTL connect jobseekers with opportunities. STRIVE grad Terry Winter works at @OchsnerHealth and is buying a home. #NOLAWillandWay @GNOInc @NewOrleansBA

Since 2012, @CeasefireNOLA violence interrupters have prevented 75 retaliatory shootings. Danny Allen and Tevin Butler can see changes in the youth in their communities once they realize they don’t have to be part of a culture of violence. #NOLAWillandWay @GNOInc @NewOrleansBA

@NOPDNews Lt. Sabrina Richardson says change was needed nearly a decade ago to counteract violence in NOLA. The city’s pursued violent criminals, reformed the NOPD, and shifted focus to the youth with @NOLA_FOR_LIFE #NOLAWillandWay @GNOinc @NewOrleansBA https://t.co/KafZtq14BN

The rebuilding of @NOEHospital was critical to revitalizing the East post-K. Medical Technologist Pam Watson said she wanted to be a part of bringing residents back to the east by rebuilding a healthcare system that met their needs. #NOLAWillandWay @GNOInc @NewOrleansBA

Schools were key to building stronger neighborhoods after Katrina. Lake Forest Charter School’s Founding CEO Mardele Early knew that. In 2006, 68 students attended. By the start of the next school year, it had nearly 400 students. #NOLAWillandWay @GNOInc @NewOrleansBA @_OPSB

When Dylan Tete returned from Iraq, he heard that there were issues in healthcare for veterans. Tete combined two things #NOLA knows about – trauma and community – to create an intentional community in New Orleans for veterans in @joinbastion #NOLAWillandWay @GNOInc @NewOrleansBA

@MayorLandrieu created the Office of Neighborhood Engagement to connect neighborhoods & the City. Danny Kiper, Gentilly Heights East Neighborhood Association, said it was instrumental after Katrina. #NOLAWillandWay @GNOInc @NewOrleansBA https://t.co/nvnAMtvRGT

Since Katrina, bikeways & walkways in #NOLA have increased from 5 to over 100 miles. @BikeEasy Exec. Director Dan Favre says this increase means bike fun & safety are real possibilities. #NOLAWillandWay @GNOInc @NewOrleansBA https://t.co/YRNOgwEa3E

@GS10KSmallBiz has connected over 400 local business to resources. Cofounder and Pres. of @ColmexNOLA Angelica Rivera is just one example. Now, Colmex has an incubator to help other small businesses. #NOLAWillandWay @GNOInc @NewOrleansBA

#NOLA loves attracting new business and growing local business, boasting wins like @GEDTechNOLA and @DXCTechnology. Since @bigeasybucha opening, cofounders Alexis Korman & Austin Sherman have partnered with @STRIVEINTL to hire its graduates. #NOLAWillandWay @GNOInc @NewOrleansBA
