Black-owned Businesses Thrive on the Westbank of Jefferson & Orleans Parishes

L-R: Barrow’s Catfish, Fantasy Tacos, and Jonathan Stewart State Farm Insurance Agent.

The Westbank of New Orleans, Louisiana is a suburban anchor for both Jefferson and Orleans Parishes. The region’s economic heartbeat is strong in the businesses located in the cities of Algiers, Terrytown, Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, Westwego, Bridge City, and Waggaman. Adding to such strengths, Black-owned businesses have a major stake in the Westbank’s economy. Whether you’re looking for an attorney, public relations/marketing consultant, restaurant, boutique, real estae agent, or mortgage company, the Westbank has it all.

NVisions Communications & Consulting is honored to highlight several Louisiana Black-owned and operated businesses that are located on and/or service the Westbank of Jefferson and Orleans parishes.
