"The path to space
has gone through
Michoud and Eastern
New Orleans since
the 60’s and we look
forward to continued
involvement in
America’s human
spaceflight
initiatives. As NASA
sets it’s sights on
Deep Space
Exploration, we
envision a bright
future in NOLA East
as we grow and
prosper together."

New
Orleans
East is
home to
the
city's
largest
industrial
and
technology
based
companies,
The
expanding
"Technology
Corridor",
anchored
by the
NASA Michoud Facility
is a "manufacturer's
trifecta"
with
access
to
multiple
modes of
transportation.
Driving
growth
in the
sector
are
dynamic
and
innovative
companies
such as Jacobs
Technology, Blade
Dynamics, Benecom
Technologies and others that now
share
access
to
advanced
technologies
acquired
and/or
developed
by NASA.
These
visionary
entrepreneurs
are
finding
it smart
and
economical
to share
resources,
knowledge
and the
synergy
that
comes
with
locating
within
the
corridor.
Other
legacy
companies
continuing
to
thrive
and
expand
include Air
Products,
and Folgers, which
operates
the
world's
largest
coffee
roasting
plant in
the
world.
All of
which
equate
to a
concentration
of
high-wage
jobs and
economic
benefits
to the
immediate
area,
city and
state.
With
room to
grow,
the 'Technology Corridor'
offers
an
exciting
future
for the
residents
and
stakeholders
of New
Orleans
East. |
