Southland Industrial Coatings’ new fireproofing facility in Washington, LA, is progressing quickly, despite the challenges of a cold and wet winter. A huge thanks to our general contractor, Kent Design Build, for keeping the momentum strong in these tough conditions! Only 50% of the primary steel is installed and it already looks massive!! This 80,000 sq. ft. climate-controlled facility, equipped with six 10-ton overhead cranes, is designed to set a new standard for productivity in the Gulf Coast’s fireproofing industry. We are proud to bring this cutting-edge facility to life and look forward to delivering top-tier solutions to our customers.

I almost didn’t come back. After earning my degree in International Affairs, I had the chance to study at graduate school—a dream I’d worked so hard to achieve. It felt like everything I’d wanted was just within reach. But when the time came to choose, I surprised myself. Instead of following the road ahead, I turned back to Mer Rouge, Louisiana, to join my father in the family business. It wasn’t the obvious choice, and at the time, it wasn’t easy. But looking back now, I see it was the right one. Coming home grounded me in a purpose I hadn’t fully understood before: honoring my roots while using the broader perspective I’d gained to help others thrive. Sometimes, the biggest decisions aren’t the ones that take you far—they’re the ones that bring you back home.#Leadership #Purpose #Legacy - Louisiana Economic Development reposted this
Louisiana is pioneering the broadband revolution across America as we set the national standard for rural broadband investment. This is a generational investment that will create thousands of jobs, drive billions in economic growth, and transform Louisiana communities in all 64 parishes. I want to thank the Louisiana Office of Broadband Development and Connectivity for their outstanding work in ensuring that Louisianians, both in rural and urban communities, can experience the best of what Louisiana has to offer. - Louisiana Economic Development reposted this

I never get tired of hearing how AI at Meta’s Richland Parish data center project came to be. It is the story of generations of a family who believed in the potential of their community, holding onto the conviction that one day, something would come along and transform the area forever. It is the story of a company looking for a place to grow, thrive and make history. It is the story of public and private entities working hand in hand to overcome every obstacle and win a project that will spark economic growth statewide. It is the story of the Louisiana opportunity. Louisiana Public Broadcasting did a fantastic job on capturing how this former sweet potato farm became the site of the country’s top economic development project and the positive impact it is already having on northeast Louisiana. #OpportunityLAWatch here: https://lnkd.in/gJvEPvPC
