Development-Ready Certified Sites

When it comes time to find the best location for your operation, Louisiana has an extensive selection of development-ready sites searchable in its Sites and Buildings Database.

The LED Certified Sites program qualifies industrial sites based on zoning restrictions, title work, environmental studies, soil analysis and surveys. These sites are 180-day development ready and have substantial due diligence studies performed to receive certification.

To assist companies needing to make complex site identification decisions, LED has secured or has access to GIS maps for every region of the state — enabling project managers to locate suitable sites quickly.

Louisiana Offers an Unrivaled Logistics Infrastructure

The state's available sites and buildings combine with a superior transportation infrastructure, providing access to nearby major markets while benefiting from Louisiana's strategic advantages such as low business taxes, low cost of living and competitive wages.

Louisiana is well situated for both inbound and outbound logistics. The state is home to:

• Six interstate highways
• Six Class 1 railroads
• Six deepwater ports
• Seven primary airports

Louisiana is one of only two states in the country where all six of North America's class one railroads converge.
