Construction has started on the new access road for the Acadiana Regional Airport. Check out this presentation by Fenstermaker. #IberiaParishLA

Join Construction Inspector, Scott Courville, for a hard hat tour of the Acadiana Regional Airport Access Road Project for our amazing Client, the Iberia Parish Government.

Scott let us know that "this project involves the construction of a new roadway through an existing sugarcane field with a roundabout at the intersection of La 3212 and Grand Prairie Rd. The purpose of this project is to create a corridor between US-90/ I-49 and the Acadiana Regional Airport. With the construction of this road and other future road projects, Iberia Parish is expecting to expand the commercial use of adjacent lands and create ease of access to the airport."

We hope you'll stay tuned for more as this project takes shape!

Our condolences to the family of our economic development colleague and friend Marion “Butch” Fox who passed over the weekend. She was a champion for Jeff Davis Parish and be missed.

R.I.P. Marion “Butch” Fox who departed this world 2 p.m. today. Tributes are pouring in from those in the tourism and economic development communities. She was a tireless advocate for Southwest Louisiana which is a better place for her contributions. She was the president and ceo of Jeff Davis Economic Development and Tourism. I first met her around 1978 when she was at the Lake Charles Tourist Bureau. She was a very joyful person, always smiling. She was a mother, a grandmother, a leader, a mentor and a friend gone far too soon. Her passing leaves a huge void for those who knew her. Lord, comfort the heartbroken and send your angels to welcome Butch into your heavenly abode. And help us, Lord, not give in to weariness of heart in this time of so much sorrow. 🙏🏻
