Certified Deep Water Access Megasites
Ascension Economic Development Corp. is at the
forefront of identifying large tracts of land available for fast
development in southeast Louisiana and creating the first
“certified” deep water megasites in the country along the
Mississippi River working with Peake Consulting, a national site
selection and development firm. The two sites identified are
over 1,000 acres and are located on the Mississippi River with
numerous other location advantages including utility
infrastructure, suitability for dock construction, rail and an
available workforce.
