Booming Downriver

Think Opportunity. Think St. Bernard

As one of the fastest growing parishes in Louisiana for close to a decade, the time is ripe to capitalize on the incredible resources found in St. Bernard Parish. St. Bernard is a premier logistical hub in Greater New Orleans with direct access to the Mississippi River, all six Class I railroads, and interstate travel. Located on the east bank of the Mississippi River under four miles downriver from downtown New Orleans, the parish touts a robust maritime industry including The St. Bernard Port which handles 9.5 million tons of cargo annually. St. Bernard Parish has historically hosted a diverse and strong business base including large scale employers and international companies in a variety of sectors. St. Bernard Parish Government, Nunez Community College, and St. Bernard Parish Public Schools work closely in partnership with private businesses to ensure the local workforce is equipped to meet the demands of employers. St. Bernard Parish offers a unique community and unparalleled lifestyle with the lowest crime rate in the metropolitan area and a top-ranked school system.”
