Leadership Lafourche is a leadership immersion program designed to train cross-sections of Lafourche residents and workers for productive roles focused on the future and well-being of our parish, institutions, and communities. 

Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou Tourism honored five tourism partners with their Bayou Ambassador Awards in recognition of their dedicated service to the tourism industry in Lafourche Parish.

“We’re incredibly proud to deliver another Fast Response Cutter to be homeported in Boston, the birthplace of the U.S. Coast Guard,” said Bollinger President & C.E.O. Ben Bordelon. “We’re confident that pound for pound, the quality and capabilities of the FRC platform is unmatched, and that this vessel will outperform its mission requirements and expectations in the challenging conditions where it will operate in the North Atlantic."

This Cooperative Endeavor Agreement will pave the way for the development of a comprehensive multi-purpose heavy industry facility that will include, but not be limited to; deepwater rig, drillship and heavy lift installation vessel repair and refurbishment, wind farm fabrication, assembly and repair, general heavy industry fabrication, project cargo and logistics; and decommissioning, all supported at Fourchon Island.

The purpose of the meeting is to obtain views on the housing and community development needs of Lafourche Parish and to discuss the submission of an application for funding under the State of Louisiana Community Development Block Grant Program.

Gulf Island will be fabricating structural components for the ML2 project at its Houma fabrication facility for delivery to the project site at the Kennedy Space Center.

More local hospitals join the prestigious list.

Business owners: Would you hire a high school intern if you could receive a state tax credit of up to $2,500 in return? The internships would include classroom work as well as hands-on involvement in high-demand industries, including those that do not require a college education.

Congratulations to Eddie Callais and Gallagher!

“Everything I have achieved in my career has prepared me for this moment.  From graduating the academy, to being a field agent, being in charge of both administrative and patrol sides of the division and serving under the tutelage of past colonels, all have aided me in receiving this prestigious promotion," Col. Zechenelly said.
