The Terrebonne Parish Port Commission is thrilled to announce its selection as an LED Certified Site by Louisiana Economic Development (LED), a significant achievement that marks a key milestone in the port’s ongoing growth and development. This certification recognizes the port’s commitment to strategic planning and readiness, positioning it as a top location for industrial and business development in Louisiana.
The LED Certified Sites program is designed to identify properties that meet specific criteria to ensure they are ready for immediate development. To earn this designation, sites must undergo thorough due diligence, including zoning reviews, title work, environmental studies, soil analysis, and surveys. Once a site completes these rigorous assessments, it is deemed development-ready, with a 180-day timeline for construction. With over 115 certified sites across the state, Louisiana continues to stand out as an ideal destination for business expansion and relocation.
Being designated an LED Certified Site offers numerous advantages to the Terrebonne Parish Port Commission. This certification helps attract potential investors and companies by providing confidence that the site is primed for rapid development. LED Certified Sites are recognized nationally and internationally as having met the highest standards for industrial and business use, making them highly sought after by companies looking to establish operations in Louisiana.
For the Terrebonne Parish Port Commission, achieving this certification has been a strategic goal. The port has worked diligently to ensure that its site meets the rigorous standards set by LED, understanding the critical role that development-ready properties play in attracting new business and fostering economic growth in the region. This certification further solidifies the port’s role as a key economic driver for the area, enhancing its ability to serve both local and international industries.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this designation,” said David Rabalais, Executive Director of the Terrebonne Port Commission. “This is the culmination of years of hard work and strategic planning. It not only strengthens the port’s competitive edge but also reinforces our commitment to economic development and job creation in Terrebonne Parish.”
The LED Certified Site status is an essential tool for the Terrebonne Parish Port Commission as it continues to expand its reach and build a stronger, more resilient economy. With this designation, the port is well-positioned to attract the next wave of industrial development and contribute to Louisiana’s thriving business landscape.
