Louisiana Expands Gulf South Commerce Park | New Orleans News

Louisiana’s pouring two million dollars into expanding the Gulf South Commerce Park in St. Tammany Parish, adding over 300 acres to its current 92-acre footprint—part of a larger vision for a 1,000-acre industrial hub. Funded by the state’s FastSites program, the investment will buy land and manage wetlands to prep sites for manufacturing, distribution, and logistics. The goal? Get ahead of the curve, attract new businesses, and create jobs on the Northshore. Meanwhile, private development is already heating up—with Steel 12, a major vertical distribution facility under construction, set to open early 2027. Site-readiness is targeted for completion by late 2028, and the state’s investment will be repaid by 2031, freeing funds for future projects.
