National Site Visits. Rockefeller Foundation Redevelopment Fellows and senior staff from their organizations will participate in national site visits during 2008 and early 2009. Site visits will include visits to exemplary redevelopment projects and practices, and briefings with private sector, public sector and nonprofit leaders who made them happen. Fellows and their employers will be involved in selecting the content that will be of greatest benefit to a New Orleans audience. Additional information will be posted about the site visits as they are scheduled.
