NEW ORLEANS, LA — The Algiers Economic Development Foundation (AEDF) is proud to announce a new partnership with the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce to celebrate and promote businesses throughout Algiers through a coordinated ribbon-cutting program.
Beginning this fall, AEDF and the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce will collaborate to host ribbon-cutting ceremonies for businesses in Algiers. The initiative will recognize new business openings, grand reopenings, expansions, and other significant business milestones. The organizations anticipate hosting at least one ribbon-cutting event each month, providing increased visibility and support for local entrepreneurs and business owners.
Additional details regarding the program, participation guidelines, and scheduling will be announced in the coming months.
"We are thrilled to partner with the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce on this exciting initiative," said LaVerne Toombs, Interim Executive Director of the Algiers Economic Development Foundation (AEDF). "Algiers is home to so many outstanding businesses that often serve as hidden gems within our community. By shining a spotlight on these businesses, we can help increase awareness, attract new customers, and support economic growth. When businesses thrive, our community thrives. More customers lead to more revenue, more jobs, and greater opportunities for everyone."
The partnership reflects both organizations' commitment to supporting small businesses and strengthening the local economy through collaboration and community engagement.
"We are excited to collaborate with the Algiers Economic Development Foundation (AEDF) to celebrate the entrepreneurs and business owners who contribute so much to the economic vitality of Algiers," said Sandra Lindquist, President and CEO of the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce.
