Gretna's a charming little city located in the midst of a major metropolitan area. We offer wonderful views of downtown New Orleans from the banks of the mighty Mississippi.

GRETNA FEATURES OVER 1000 BUSINESSES WHICH ARE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
WHILE MOST ARE INDEPENDENT, FAMILY-OWNED OPERATIONS, SOME ARE NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED – LIKE ZATARAIN'S, WHICH MOVED TO GRETNA IN 1963.
There are tremendous benefits to doing business in the City of Gretna from an infrastructure standpoint. You look at the proximity to world class ports, railroads, roadways & airport; you add that together with the tremendously qualified workforce, very educated. The proximity to the universities & you couple all of that with the great quality of life, the historical charm of this city with all of the modern amenities. It's easy to see why Gretna is a city of choice.
GRETNA IS CONTINUOUSLY EXPERIENCING AN INFLUX OF NEW BUSINESSES.
COMPANIES BENEFIT FROM THE CITY'S PERSONALIZED SERVICE THROUGH THE LICENSING & PERMITTING PROCESSES, & VALUE THE CONTINUOUS SUPPORT FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
ONE EXCITING & MAJOR PROJECT UNDERWAY IN GRETNA IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 50-MILLION DOLLAR HOTEL COMPLEX ON AN 11 ACRE TRACT OF LAND.
We're really excited to bring this transformative development anchored by 3 hotels to the City of Gretna. When we were looking for a place to do business we wanted a place with rich history & tradition with great access to the entire metro
