Founded in 1980 by the Greater New Orleans Chamber of Commerce, New Orleans CityBusiness was created to provide essential news and information about the business community in New Orleans. The idea came from the need for a dedicated publication that could cover local business developments, economic trends, and industry insights. Today, New Orleans CityBusiness is owned by the New Orleans Advocate, which continues to focus on local news and business reporting. Today, New Orleans CityBusiness covers a wide range of topics including business news, economic development, real estate, and local events. Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, the publication aims to keep its readers informed about important happenings in the local business landscape. They provide articles, features, and reports, making it a valuable resource for business professionals and anyone interested in the economic health of the region. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of New Orleans CityBusiness is its annual "Business Awards" event, which recognizes outstanding local businesses and leaders, highlighting the achievements and contributions of the New Orleans business community.
