Gulf Coast Marketplace - www.thegulfcoastmarketplace.org
The mission of the Gulf Coast Marketplace is to contribute to community recovery by providing opportunities for economic growth and financial independence, especially for those impacted by disaster.
Developed by Options for Independence with support from an advisory panel of Louisiana economic development, government and business leaders, the Gulf Coast Marketplace, www.thegulfcoastmarketplace.org, is as an online marketplace for hand-crafted products and services created by people living in the states bordering the Gulf of Mexico. The initial focus will be on artists and craftsman in Louisiana with expansion to the other Gulf states as the project develops. This virtual marketplace serves as an economic stimulator for the region, while promoting and celebrating the rich diversity of cultures and talents that exist throughout the Gulf Coast
