Development-ready sites for a competitive region
One Acadiana’s Site Development program is designed to increase the region’s portfolio of marketable, development-ready sites by certifying land within our nine-parish region. This is achieved through partnership between One Acadiana, land owners, and our local partners, e.g., local economic development organizations, police juries, utility providers, etc.
What is a Certified Site?
A Louisiana Economic Development Certified Site is a development-ready site that has completed a rigorous review process to answer as many development questions as possible. The program is designed to assess specific site details for compliance and authenticity. All certified sites are 180-day development-ready which provides the added benefit of helping keep clients’ construction on schedule.
Louisiana Economic Development’s Certified Industrial Site Program focuses on sites intended for industrial or manufacturing uses. To qualify for the industrial site program, sites must have a minimum of 25 contiguous, unencumbered acres available for development.
Louisiana Economic Development’s Certified Business Site Program targets sites best suited for business parks, mixed use developments, or Planned Unit Developments (PUD). Sites qualifying for this program will have between 10 and 25 contiguous, unencumbered acres available for development.

Site Selection Tool
One Acadiana is excited to provide GIS planning resources for regional location and development activities. Geographic Information Science (GIS) is an ever-growing discipline that combines database information with geographic features for powerful display and analysis. The regional map illustrates data sets related to flood zones, wetlands, incentives (e.g. Opportunity Zones, New Market Tax Credits, etc.), demographics, and other developmental concerns, allowing the user to choose the most ideal location for their operation. Our GIS tool also includes real-estate listings that can be sorted by size (e.g. square feet or acres), existing building or greenfield site, and intended use (e.g., Industrial, Commercial).
