The New Orleans City Council approved a resolution November 5 authorizing a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement for the proposed $625 million Omni Headquarters Hotel, according to a council announcement.
The agreement sets a formula for payments to the Orleans Parish School Board and other local taxing authorities. It also includes baseline employment requirements.
Plans call for more than 1,000 guest rooms and about 100,000 square feet of meeting and event space at the Convention Center. Council Vice President Matthew Willard introduced the resolution.
