LAPLACE — Small businesses and industry partners, seemingly on opposite ends of the spectrum, each play an important role in St. John the Baptist Parish’s economic development.

“No matter how big or small your business is, you play a vital role into the health of our community,” Parish President Hotard said.

Economic Development Week Kickoff Reception was held Monday evening at Petra Restaurant in LaPlace. On Tuesday, St. John Parish hosted a Career & Job Fair at REGALA Gym.
