Event Recap

SENATOR CASSIDY'S REPORT TO OUR MEMBERSHIP

Senator Bill Cassidy, a longtime friend to Ascension Parish, gave a report to the Chamber’s membership Wednesday at the Lamar Dixon Banquet Hall. Senator Cassidy shared a variety of topics focusing the discussion on his role in two issues that are important to a bright economic future for our parish, new energy production projects and infrastructure.


“No county in the nation is going to benefit as much from the bipartisan infrastructure bill as Ascension Parish,” said Dr. Cassidy. “Industry is taking advantage of our energy transition, seeking new markets and creating a lot of jobs for people who live in Ascension and elsewhere in Louisiana.”

THANK YOU TO OUR EVENT SPONSORS & HOSTS:


Mr. Wally Taillon
