WASHINGTON - U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez has announced that he and Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast Rebuilding Donald Powell will lead a delegation of business leaders to Louisiana and Mississippi on a "Gulf Coast Business Investment Mission" May 4-5 2006 to highlight investment opportunities in the Gulf Coast, including federal GO-Zone tax incentives, as part of an effort to promote economic growth and job creation in the region following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
