Acadiana Partners Announce First Certified Site in St. Martin Parish

Today, Broussard Economic Development Corporation (BEDC) and St. Martin Economic Development Authority (SMEDA) with One Acadiana (1A) and SLEMCO announced that a 49.74-acre site located at the Spanish Trail Industrial Park has been certified under the Louisiana Economic Development (LED) Certified Sites program.

Working with partners across the region, One Acadiana’s site development efforts respond to the needs of site selectors and relocating businesses. Establishing a landing pad for businesses is a crucial ingredient to attracting jobs and investment to the Acadiana Region.

The Spanish Trail Industrial Park Site is Acadiana’s 16th certified site and is the first certified site in St. Martin Parish. As a certified site, it meets the state’s priority to certify large tracts of land, known as Industrial Sites.

“I want to commend the Broussard Economic Development Corporation and the great work they have done with local, regional, and state partners to achieve the certification of the Spanish Trail Industrial Park Site here in Broussard,” said Broussard Mayor Ray Bourque. “This certification demonstrates that we have a strong commitment to growth, making us more competitive and marketable to industries and developers.”
