The New Orleans Vieux Carre Commission will be closed Thursday and Friday to finish its move to the 7th floor of City Hall as part of Mayor Mitch Landrieu's initiative to consolidate management of permits and licenses in one place. Known as the "one-stop shop," the new office is expected to streamline customers' dealings with several city departments.
The closure will affect the commission's City Hall and Royal Street locations. After the transition, the VCC will continue to hold office hours at 334 Royal St. from 9-11 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for drop-ins and general questions. All applications for permits and licenses, however, will be handled in City Hall.
The VCC was established to uphold the architectural and historic nature of the French Quarter. It oversees all exterior repairs, alterations and construction in the city's oldest neighborhood.
