Industries old and new line the
streets and highways of this thriving community. Along
U.S. Highway 90 you will see retail merchants, oil field service companies, high-tech industry, building contractors,
motor freight services, equipment
and machinery sales, fabrication, industrial supply sales and oil field drilling companies.
Wind your way back from Highway 90 into the main part of town and your pass through gently rolling soybean and
sugar cane fields. These rich, fertile agricultural lands also have the potential
for commercial and industrial development.
Like the weather, the business
climate in the area is pleasant and warm.
Financial institutions
and private sources provide ample availability of funding for plant construction or expansions. Research has shown that Louisiana is second in the nation, behind Arizona, in having a value added
work force. Manufacturing employees, in other words, are adding much to the
economy for every dollar they receive
in their production payroll, providing significant contributions to business expansion and production. Manufacturing taxes in Louisiana are the
sixth lowest nationwide
and the state ranks fourth in the availability and productivity of resources.
The state is well-suited for
diversified industries and Broussard is the kind of community where industry and commerce can grow in an
environment of political
hospitality and cooperation. State,
parish and city governments are eager to bring new industries into the area and will work to
see that your move here is enjoyable
and profitable.
