The group will share with the community the progress of each of its four task forces – growth planning, education and workforce development, public service improvements, and special community-related initiatives.

Highlights of the Southwest Louisiana Permanent Housing Study, which will outline the anticipated number of permanent dwellings needed in response to industrial growth and development, will be provided at this meeting.

In addition, other issues such as school traffic stacking efforts, temporary worker villages, and a new guide to aid small business growth will be discussed.
