Overview
Southwest Louisiana's diverse cultures, waterways and fun-loving celebrations are legendary. And while that reputation makes for a flourishing tourism industry, it doesn't tell the whole story. Impressive workforce productivity numbers, on-target education initiatives, changes in tax incentives, economic "clustering," and the government's monetary and manpower commitment to responding "at the rate of business" are helping turn the page in a new chapter in economic history throughout the state.

Transport
We don't offer you the world, only access to it – via one of the nation’s largest seaports, an international industrial airpark, plus everything else you need: commercial airline service, Amtrak, railroads, freight carriers, industrial airports throughout the region and highways that not only provide excellent access, but are receiving state priority for widening and other improvements.
