General information on management of the city's economic development effort along with files on several individual projects. Much more extensive documentation of these activities are in the records of the Office of Economic Development which are arranged and described separately from the records of the Morial administration.

The Freret Street Development Corporation subseries documents the city's Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization Unit's work in the Freret Street area. The NCR Unit actually came under the supervision of Federal Programs and Special Projects within the Planning and Development hierarchy. Additional records of NCR's activities in the Freret Street area, as well as in other sections of the city, will be found in the separate Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization series (see below).

The Neighborhood Development subseries contains data on activities of the Neighborhood Planning Unit in individual areas of the city as well as on programs to improve business and residential conditions within those areas.
