Community and business leaders have joined together in developing a plan to enhance and grow Ouachita Parish. New employees and opportunities coming to the region prompted the creation of the Ouachita Business Alliance.
The group determined five core issues to address in meeting or improving needs of area communities.
Leadership teams in education, infrastructure, housing, beautification, and quality of life were assembled to prioritize and create a strategy to enhance each of these issues.
In our series, we talk to team chairs and co-chairs about what has been identified in planning sessions, and what are the starting points in enhancing what Ouachita Parish can offer a growing population.
