The mission will include stops in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Biloxi, Mississippi. In each city, participants will meet with key federal, state and local officials and other local decision makers to discuss the business climate and investment opportunities in the Gulf Coast.
Participants will also be briefed on incentives made available as a result of President Bush's Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005. In December, the President signed this legislation that creates a Gulf Opportunity Zone with tax relief for businesses and entrepreneurs in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
