| Overview
|
| University of Missouri-Kansas City will use its URAP-CD grant to identify and plan for the economic recovery and resettlement of heritage tourism nodes in the City of New Orleans. The target population for this project includes homeowners, low- to moderate-income residents, and small business owners and their employees in the area of heritage tourism. The project will focus on the development of a plan for the economic recovery and housing resettlement of the "second tier" heritage tourism sites outside of the French Quarter. Project activities will include identification and analysis of heritage tourism nodes, interviews and focus groups with business owners and residents in supporting neighborhoods, and identification of obstacles to economic renewal and housing resettlement. Project deliverables will include a plan for the recovery of specific heritage tourism nodes in the city, including demographic and spatial analysis using GIS, community input, and economic analyses as well as priority sub-plans for implementing housing resettlement and infill opportunities, databases for gathering and disseminating information, and policy recommendations for public and private investment. The University of Missouri-Kansas City will be collaborating with a local partner the Urban Conservancy.
