May was a month of partnership, preparation, and progress in St. Tammany.

We recognized our business partnerships during International Economic Development Council's Economic Development Week, supported entrepreneurs during Small Business Month, connected with students exploring future careers, participated in regional planning conversations, and continued advancing our strategic initiatives that strengthen our economy and quality of life.

Whether through workforce development, entrepreneurship, business investment, or community engagement, each effort contributes to a stronger future for St. Tammany.

Thank you to everyone who joined us throughout the month. We're grateful for the opportunity to work alongside so many incredible partners, and we look forward to continuing this work together in June.

As hurricane season approaches, preparation is critical to keeping our community safe and resilient.

Today, we joined local leaders from across the region for St. Tammany Parish’s annual hurricane preparedness briefing. Parish President Mike Cooper alongside representatives from the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS), the Louisiana Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP), the St. Tammany Parish Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness office, and other essential agencies shared key insights and updates at the regional, statewide, and national levels.

In the weeks ahead, St. Tammany EDC will share helpful tips and practical steps residents and businesses can take now to avoid being caught off guard when severe weather threatens our region.
