The City of Alexandria is seeking to provide resources to developers and businesses in order to create a thriving downtown community. We are continuing to invest in and develop our business district, adding parking, green spaces, security officers, and other amenities with tax incentives and economic development opportunities. If you’re interested in developing a commercial business, residential unit, or even mixed-use facilities, Downtown Alexandria is the place to invest.
As Alexandria and other cities across Louisiana enter Phase 2 of the reopening plan from COVID-19 businesses are working to adopt safety protocols necessary to ensure the health and safety of their employees as well as their customers. To help consumers identify local businesses that are following the latest Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and state public health guidelines, the City of Alexandria has created the Open Safely campaign.
Local businesses that have made a commitment to following the health and safety guidelines from the state and federal officials, especially those listed on the state’s opensafely.la.gov website, may get an Open Safely window decal to identify their business to consumers. City of Alexandria employees are distributing the stickers free of charge as well as a card explaining the program and the safety guidelines to local businesses. If your business has made a commitment to following the CDC and state public safety guidelines and would like to get an Open Safely decal for your business, contact Richard Johnson or Robert Weeks with the City of Alexandria Economic Development team at 318-449-5003.
