The State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans are strongly committed to the Federal City Project. 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 by the State.
