Design Firm Expanding In New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — By summer 2014, event and exhibit design firm The Solomon Group plans to nearly quadruple the size of its offices in the New Orleans Warehouse District.

Founding partner Gary Solomon Jr. tells New Orleans CityBusiness that the company has been working to renovate a 10,000-square-foot building at 819 Girod St. that will be its new home office. The business is currently based at 900 S. Peters St.

Renovation of the two-story Girod Street property began in August.

Solomon is working with Ryan Gootee General Contractors.
