The New Orleans Federal Alliance (NOFA) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization chartered to spearhead development efforts of the Federal City Project on the Naval Support Activity New Orleans (NSA NO), located in the Algiers section of New Orleans. Founded in 2004, NOFA consists of retired senior military leadership, members of the Louisiana House of Representatives and the State Economic Development Office, and other private sector professionals dedicated to bringing the Federal City concept to reality.
The State of Louisiana and City of New Orleans are strongly committed to the Federal City Project and plan to participate. With the cooperation of the Louisiana Department of Economic Development, NOFA was created to implement the Project. In addition to the full support of the State and the City of New Orleans, Federal City enjoys the bipartisan sponsorship of the entire Louisiana congressional delegation. The day-to-day operations of NOFA are funded from tax increment funds available to the Algiers Development District. NOFA has been energetically engaged in identifying potential Federal City tenants including National Guard and Reserve components as well as a number of federal agencies currently leasing non-ATFP (Anti-Terrorism Force Protection) space throughout the New Orleans area. NOFA intends to continue these efforts in coordination with HRI/ECC.
