Jeff Davis Parish Business
Jeff Davis Parish is one of the top three agricultural areas in the state. Soybeans, rice, sugarcane, crawfish and cattle are products from the parish.
The oil and gas industry, along with the agricultural industry, played a large role in the economic growth of the area.
However, with major developments underway in the Lacassine Industrial Park and throughout the parish, substantial economic growth is imminent. Local community leaders work with a well-balanced public/private initiative to maintain the process of economic industrial development.
Their goal is to maintain Jeff Davis Parish in a state of economic readiness in both traditional and non-traditional businesses and industries.
Coushatta Indian Tribe and Germans settled in the northern section of the parish in the Town of Elton. Both cultures have had a significant impact on the economy and architecture.
The Coushatta Casino Resort has made a tremendous contribution to tourism and economic growth in this section of Jeff Davis Parish.
