LED Certified Sites
The LED Certified Sites program takes the guesswork out of site selection by ensuring locations are shovel-ready through an intensive inspection and review. To be certified, specific site details, such as zoning restrictions, title work, environmental studies, soil analysis and surveys, are assessed for compliance and authenticity.

Louisiana Development Ready Communities
The LDRC program aids communities to bolster their economic development strategy, fostering success and encouraging communities to create a plan to leverage assets and address challenges. From cultivating innovative leadership to evaluating each community’s strengths and weaknesses, the LDRC Program pushes community leaders to develop a guiding vision and actionable goals. And since its inception in 2011, the program has expanded from eight communities to over 50.
