Opportunities for Economic Development in Acadia Parish are bountiful! Acadia Parish offers access to U.S. Highways, railroads, numerous water ways and airports and it home to one docking port—it is an outstanding location for reaching markets far beyond its parish line. With several driving factors, Acadia Parish is home to some of the largest rice mills in Louisiana with more history than meets the eye, Supreme Rice and Falcon Rice Mill. Acadia prides itself on not only its agriculture heritage; but likewise, the energy and manufacturing industries with thriving businesses, such as John Pac and Capital Manufacturing, Wright Enrichment, Jaguar Energy Services, and Church Point Wholesale.
The parish itself has hosts higher education assets, notably LSU at Eunice and South Louisiana Community College here in Crowley. Its seamless location on the Interstate 10 corridor allows the parish a close proximity to two of Louisiana’s largest universities: The University of Louisiana at Lafayette and McNeese State University in Lake Charles. Acadia is also home to two research centers of excellence both off U.S. Highway 90, University of Louisiana-Lafayette/CLECO Alternative Energy Research Facility and the LSU Rice Research Station, which has globally impacted the evolving rice industry.
The Crowley Chamber channels a vision of growth, with vast amounts of develop-able land offering infinite possibilities. Alongside our recent completion of the 536-acre Freeland Certified Site, there are immense opportunities for your business to grow here in Acadia Parish.
