What happened in the 2008 Partners in Preservation initiative?
The 2008 Partners in Preservation initiative focused on New Orleans in honor of the city’s restoration and redevelopment efforts in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The city was selected as a top priority to support preservation and recovery efforts to ensure the survival of the area’s rich cultural assets and heritage tourism. Moreover, the 2008 New Orleans initiative sought to restore community centers and gathering places for an area torn apart by natural disaster.
