Completeful First Step In Northside Lafayette Revitalization
Completeful will close on its purchase of the vacant building on the Evangeline Thruway near the railroad tracks later today. Company officials say they will begin moving into that facility once they sign the papers.
Completeful will merge its three existing plants into that one centralized location. For leaders on the Northside, it’s the first step in revitalizing that section of town.
“I see this as a foundational project, District 5 city councilman Glenn Lazard said. I think it has the potential to lay the foundation for future economic development on the Evangeline Thruway corridor.”
Anderson said police and fire responded to the collapse. He said there were no injuries. The developer is assessing the damage and will know later this week as to how it will impact the construction timeline, said Gregg Gothreaux, the president and CEO of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority. They are very grateful no one was injured.
The Amazon facility, which will be the company s first fulfillment center in Louisiana, is one of the biggest economic development wins the region has seen in recent years.
The building is expected to be around 1-million square feet and costs around $100 million. The facility is expected to add around 500 jobs and around 982 indirect jobs.
