The Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance is rolling out Livability Southwest Louisiana – a multi-platform program to share the numerous benefits of moving to and living in Southwest Louisiana! 

The program includes an interactive digital magazine, dynamic print publication, and significant exposure on Livability.com, a national website with information about more than 6,500 of America’s best places to live and visit. 

The program promotes Southwest Louisiana’s favorable business climate, attractions, and other amenities to encourage business investment, talent recruitment and relocation. Targeted print and global digital distribution aim to reach entrepreneurs, site selectors, corporate executives, and talented individuals and families attracted to our community’s enviable quality of life. 

“So many times, we see that Louisiana is at the bottom of some arbitrary list or another which stems from data comparing apples to oranges. Louisiana – and especially Southwest Louisiana – is a unique, beautiful and constantly surprising place to live. We have pretty much everything that a person could ask for – vast green spaces, waterways to explore, abundant hunting, fishing, and gaming opportunities – all along a major interstate corridor and shipping  where we can bring in or export anything in the world,” stated George Swift, Alliance President/CEO. 

The program includes tools that allow for exploration and sharing with others the many success stories of the community:

• Go to com/la/lake-charles.
• Click through and share articles about the region’s business success stories, talent development initiatives, divine dining scene, abundant outdoor activities and more. Each article includes share tools for quick posts to social media.
• Click here to read and share the digital version of the magazine. You can flip through online or download the book in a PDF format. You can also use share tools to quickly send a link by email or post to social media.
• To get a print magazine, visit the SEED Center at 4310 Ryan Street in Lake Charles. 

Livability Southwest Louisiana is an integrated marketing program published annually by Livability Media and sponsored by the Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance.
