St. Charles Parish
Economy
St. Charles Parish is home to many energy and petrochemical companies. To generate new economic growth, St. Charles Parish is diversifying its economy by securing investments from transportation, alternative fuels, and technology related companies. A growing number of companies are relocating to St. Charles Parish because of its highly productive workforce, a nationally recognized public school system, an excellent transportation network, an abundance of raw materials, high quality of life, and land for commercial and industrial development.
St. Charles Parish is one of the three River Parishes (with St. James Parish and St. John the Baptist Parish) that hold port sites under the Port of South Louisiana—the nation’s largest port. With an integrated transportation network that strategically links the United States, Canada, Mexico, and South America, it’s no wonder that the Port of South Louisiana and St. Charles parish play an important role in the continued development of the Greater New Orleans region.
Lifestyle
St. Charles Parish is a unique and curious blend of old and new. Scenic landscapes and antebellum manors frame the countryside, while bustling commerce centers are constant reminders that this community offers tremendous potential for business development.
