hurchill Technology & Business Park's location on the outskirts of New Orleans blends the transportation advantages of a global port city with the aggressive business posture of Jefferson Parish.
      Businesses looking to start up, relocate or expand are hard pressed to find a similar development of this magnitude in the midst of a major metropolitan area. The 500-acre park is located just 12 miles from the Louis Armstrong International Airport.
      Located near the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River and multiple rail lines and interstates, Churchill is an ideal site for distribution services, warehouses and manufacturing facilities. The park's extensive landscaping and green space make it an appealing home for high-end office space or headquarters facilities.
      Businesses who locate in Churchill will be able to tap into a variety of business resources in the areas of international trade, defense manufacturing, transportation, energy, petrochemicals, and new media.
      While Churchill offers a tranquil setting in which to work, its proximity to New Orleans also provides ample opportunities for play. Employees can enjoy cultural offerings of neighboring New Orleans, boundless recreation activities along the Gulf Coast and a family-oriented atmosphere within Jefferson Parish.
      Largely unscathed by Hurricane Katrina, the West Bank of Jefferson has experienced tremendous growth over the last few years, providing a range of services and amenities including the Tournament Players Club Golf Course, Bayou Segnette Sports Complex and Bayou Segnette State Park. Outstanding public and private schools and a reasonable housing market add to the area's appeal.
      Spearheaded by the Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission (JEDCO), Churchill Technology & Business Park is designed to provide the greatest flexibility for new construction. Divided into major parcels rather than subdivided lots, the campus can accommodate a variety of business needs.
      Churchill Technology & Business Park is the largest master-planned business community in the greater New Orleans area. Now in phase one of development, Churchill's initial 40 acres have already been cleared, with utilities, water systems and streets in place. Construction on two office buildings will begin this fall.
      JEDCO stands ready to help new, expanding or relocating businesses become part of Churchill Technology & Business Park. From coordinating leasing and financing strategies to developing incentives and competitive rebates based on job growth, JEDCO has the experience and track record to help businesses succeed.
