NHS’
work also has a significant impact on the New Orleans’
economy. A study conducted a few years ago for
NHS concluded that between 1995 and June 1999 NHS’
production will generate a projected $1.1 billion in
economic benefit and support more than 249 annualized
jobs over the next ten years.
Neighborhood Revitalization:
NHS also has four target
neighborhoods where we engage in proactive efforts to
improve the quality of life. These uptown neighborhoods
are: Broadmoor, Milan, Freret and Holy Ghost. We engage
in real estate development in each of these neighborhoods.
We have attempted a holistic approach to the Freret
neighborhood since 1994. In this neighborhood NHS has:

a Mainstreet Program to support the Freret commerical
corridor |
