Aug 21, 2026 · original
LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) – State lawmakers sat down with Southwest Louisiana leaders Wednesday to discuss issues including insurance costs and the region’s job gap during the annual Legis-Gator event, which Lake Charles has hosted for more than 20 years. Will Green, president and CEO of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, said the event brought together business and political leaders. “We brought together some of the smartest minds in business and politics through this LegisGator event and so we’re so excited from the state’s chamber of commerce and state’s manufacturing association to join them to really highlight not only the economic development and success of this area but also to bring in–kind of paint the picture of what’s going on as a whole in the state,” Green said. Policy makers from around the state gathered to assess the present and look toward the future of L

‘Turning a corner’: SWLA reversing course on population and jobs, economist says
Jul 30, 2026 · original
Southwest Louisiana is showing signs of consistent recovery from the 2020 hurricane season, subsequent extreme weather and the COVID-19 pandemic. Population growth has returned, employment is trending upward and economists are optimistic about SWLA’s future. That was the overall message at a recent State of Southwest Louisiana luncheon event where elected officials, business leaders and community members heard about the five-parish region’s economic outlook.

From 2023 to 2025, Calcasieu alone gained more than 5,600 residents, according to the U.S. Census estimates highlighted in Groft’s presentation. The ci
