How this index works 02
Louisiana cities where
A city page is only worth writing if it says something true about the city. Each page here names the industries that exist, the parish's freight reality, and the cable families those industries produce.
Where a city's industrial base is thin, the page says so. Where a facility has closed, the page says that too, because a seller in that city knows the difference and being told otherwise is a waste of their time.
Greater New Orleans 03
Greater New Orleans
Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Washington, Lafourche and Terrebonne
New Orleans
Orleans Parish · New Orleans is a working port with an aerospace plant and a food manufacturing base behind it, and all three hold electrical inventory that outlives the project that bought it.
Open02Kenner
Jefferson Parish · Kenner holds the region's airport and a cluster of equipment repair and light manufacturing shops, and its cable surplus comes from both.
Open03Slidell
St. Tammany Parish · Slidell is where the North Shore's marine construction and heavy equipment work sits, at the junction of three interstates.
Open04Covington
St. Tammany Parish · Covington is a parish seat and corporate office town, not a plant town, and the honest answer is that its cable comes from buildings rather than processes.
Open05Hammond
Tangipahoa Parish · Hammond sits where I-12 meets I-55, and its manufacturing base is built around conveyor belting and food distribution rather than process chemistry.
Open06Bogalusa
Washington Parish · Bogalusa is a one-mill town, and the mill is a containerboard operation that has been running longer than any other in its owner's system.
Open07Thibodaux
Lafourche Parish · Thibodaux's industrial base is one large agricultural machinery plant plus a university, and that plant is in the middle of a publicly announced product transition.
Open08Houma
Terrebonne Parish · Houma is the fabrication and service capital of the Louisiana offshore industry, and its cable is marine-rated, heavy and documented.
Open09Morgan City
St. Mary Parish · Morgan City builds and converts working vessels on the Intracoastal Waterway, and its cable is bought for hulls rather than for buildings.
OpenBaton Rouge & the Capital Area 04
Baton Rouge & the Capital Area
East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge and the northern Ascension edge
Baton Rouge
East Baton Rouge Parish · Baton Rouge holds one of the largest refining and petrochemical complexes in the world and the contractors that maintain it, which makes it the deepest cable market in the state.
Open02Zachary
East Baton Rouge Parish · Zachary's industrial story is mostly prospective, and the honest review says so rather than inventing a plant base that is not there.
Open03Baker
East Baton Rouge Parish · Baker has no plant-scale industry, and the fair way to describe it is as a small city on a working corridor between Baton Rouge and Zachary.
Open04Gonzales
Ascension Parish · Gonzales is the commercial and fabrication hub of Ascension Parish, sitting ten miles from the Geismar chemical complex and on the I-10 corridor.
Open05Port Allen
West Baton Rouge Parish · Port Allen pairs a refinery with the region's public deepwater port, which puts two different kinds of cable in one small city.
OpenAcadiana 05
Acadiana
Lafayette, Iberia, St. Landry, Acadia, St. Martin and Vermilion
Lafayette
Lafayette Parish · Lafayette is the office and service capital of the offshore industry, and its cable sits in equipment yards rather than in plant stores.
Open02New Iberia
Iberia Parish · New Iberia combines module and pipe fabrication for energy with one of the state's newest and largest manufacturing plants.
Open03Crowley
Acadia Parish · Crowley is a rice-milling town on the I-10 corridor, and its cable is agricultural rather than petrochemical.
Open04Eunice
St. Landry Parish · Eunice has no large plant, but it does have a pipeline contractor's yard, a hospital and a university — and that is a real, if modest, source of cable.
Open05Opelousas
St. Landry Parish · Opelousas runs on food processing and distribution, and a distribution centre modernisation of this size is an electrical project in its own right.
Open06Jennings
Jefferson Davis Parish · Jennings has a fabrication yard with barge access, a rail terminal nearby and an agricultural base, which is a broader industrial mix than its size suggests.
OpenSouthwest Louisiana & Lake Charles 06
Southwest Louisiana & Lake Charles
Calcasieu, Cameron, Beauregard and Allen
Lake Charles
Calcasieu Parish · Lake Charles is the state's second industrial centre and its most active construction market, with refining, chemicals and LNG all in one corridor.
Open02Sulphur
Calcasieu Parish · Sulphur is a plant town on the west side of the ship channel, with a catalyst plant, a synthetic rubber plant and a fabrication yard within a few miles.
Open03DeRidder
Beauregard Parish · DeRidder is a forest-products town with two large plants and a chemicals operation, which is unusual for a city of its size.
OpenThe River Parishes 07
The River Parishes
St. Charles, St. James, St. John and the Ascension and Iberville river corridor
Norco
St. Charles Parish · Norco packs a refinery, a chemicals plant and a catalyst plant into a few miles of River Road, and its cable is as technical as the state gets.
Open02Plaquemine
Iberville Parish · Plaquemine sits inside one of the densest chlor-alkali and vinyl chains in the country, and its cable is written to chemical plant specifications.
Open03Geismar
Ascension Parish · Geismar is a stretch of riverbank that happens to hold one of the largest concentrations of chemical production in North America.
Open04Donaldsonville
Ascension Parish · Donaldsonville holds the world's largest ammonia complex and is now building a steel mill beside it, which makes it the busiest electrical construction market on the river.
OpenCentral Louisiana 08
Central Louisiana
Rapides, Natchitoches, Avoyelles, Grant, Vernon, Winn and Sabine
Alexandria
Rapides Parish · Alexandria's industrial base is unusually varied for central Louisiana: detergent, railcars and modular substations in one market.
Open02Natchitoches
Natchitoches Parish · Natchitoches has two substantial manufacturers — compressors and engineered wood — and a rail transload port at Campti.
OpenNorth Louisiana 09
North Louisiana
Caddo, Bossier, Ouachita, Lincoln, Webster and Morehouse
Shreveport
Caddo Parish · Shreveport is north Louisiana's industrial centre, with a refinery, a steel tube mill and a port industrial park inside one metropolitan area.
Open02Bossier City
Bossier Parish · Bossier City's industrial identity is steel poles and transmission structures, alongside a military and cyber employment base.
Open03Monroe
Ouachita Parish · Monroe and West Monroe form the paperboard and packaging centre of northeast Louisiana, with a mill and a converting plant of national scale.
Open04Ruston
Lincoln Parish · Ruston is a university city with one substantial forest-products manufacturer, and its freight story is I-20 and a rail main line.
Open05Minden
Webster Parish · Minden builds the enclosures that protect electrical equipment, which makes it an unusual and unusually relevant cable market.
Open06Bastrop
Morehouse Parish · Bastrop's paper mill era ended in 2008, and what replaced it — pellets, poultry and rice — is a different kind of electrical market.
