The Louisiana Economic Outlook Is Written the First Sensation Is Relief, but This Followed Immediately by a Sense of Gratitude to All the People Who Make It Happen THE LOUISIANA ECONOMIC OUTLOOK: 2019 AND 2020 Prepared by: Loren C. Scott Professor Emeritus in Economics And Judy S. Collins, Managing Editor Published by: Economics & Policy Research Group E. J. Ourso College of Business Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, LA September, 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Merci! Danke! Gracias! Spasibo! Grazie! Thanks! When the last paragraph of the Louisiana Economic Outlook is written the first sensation is relief, but this followed immediately by a sense of gratitude to all the people who make it happen. Hundreds of very busy people provide input to the LEO. There is no way in just a couple of pages to express how grateful I am for all your help. The first step would never be taken without the financial support of our sponsors. Our Gold Sponsor and printer of the LEO---Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana---has been a reliable partner for years, as has been Gold Sponsor Cleco. Luckily for us, HomeBank is now in its fourth year as a Gold sponsor, and ExxonMobil’s Silver Sponsorship remains vital to our work. Sponsorship monies not only support the LEO, but also help with travel monies, software purchases, and data acquisitions for the Economic Department at LSU. We cannot overstate the value of your support in this “fiscal cliff” environment. A huge stack of data goes into this report and much of that comes from the very professional economic developers Louisiana is so lucky to have. Support starts at the top with the state’s chief economic developer---Secretary Don Pierson---who not only makes his staff available, but also provides valuable input to early drafts of the report. In the LDED office, Larry Collins---executive Director of International Commerce---spent hours reviewing industrial announcement lists to insure we captured all the good news in the state. Speaking of industrial announcement lists, an excellent relationship with Connie Fabre at the GBRIA helps us stay current. Crucial data came in from all regions from folks like Michael Hecht, Harrison Crabtree, Adam Knapp, David Broussard, Scott Gammel, Greg Gothreaux, George Swift, Rick Ranson, Eric England, Brenda Levinson, Linda Prudhomme, Bob Fudickar, Stacey Neal, Lacey Toledano, Vic Lafont, Melissa Bordelon, Frank Fink, Mike Tarantino, Chett Chassion, Jeff Baudier, Larry Deroussell, Dale Logan, Lynn Hohensee, Sue Nickels, Katy LeBlanc, Rocky Rockett, Murray Viser, Liz McCain, David Bennett, Craig Romero, Brandy Christian, and Kate McArthur. The list is long because so many in this community are eager to help. I owe a lot to you folks! The really tricky issue is how to thank the 200+ men and women in the business community---from small firms to the heads of Fortune 500 companies---who will take time from their jammed schedules to talk to us about their companies, their industry, and the prospects for the future. They talk openly and candidly with someone most have never met personally. We appreciate that trust. There are too many of you to attempt to list---but please know how indebted we are to you for your input. Three state agencies provide information and data crucial to our forecasts. Greg Albrecht in the Legislative Fiscal Office can fill a lunch meeting with tons of little-known but very useful information on state finances. The Division of Research in the Louisiana Workforce Commission is the primary source of our baseline employment data, and we bug them unmercifully during the year with tedious questions that are efficiently and happily answered. Jay Carney at DOTD responds quickly with very detailed data on road letting in the state. ii At LSU, Judy Collins not only manages our subscription lists and printing schedule, but she also manages the author and is perhaps one of only two people in the state that has read the LEO cover to cover looking for the numerous editorial errors made by yours truly. Dean Richard White, in his exemplary tenure in the E.J. Ourso College of Business, always makes support of the LEO one of his priorities. Thanks for your backing, Dick. To be successful with a project it is important to set the tone early. It has been my great fortune for over two decades to have the perfect vehicle for launching the LEO. My two great pals---Rolfe McCollister and Julio Melara---let us release this document at their heavily attended Top 100 Luncheon every year. It is a real treat to rub shoulders with such a successful, innovative and influential duo. Merci! Danke! Gracias! Spasibo! Grazie! Thanks to you all! iii SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS After enduring a 28-month recession that cost Louisiana over 23,000 jobs, the state’s economy began to grow again in 2018. Our forecast for 2019-20 is undergirded by the assumptions that (1) the national economy will expand at a healthy rate (though threats from tariffs and IMO 2020 are unsettling), (2) inflation and interest rates will rise a bit but remain unthreatening, (3) oil prices will rise gradually from $65 per barrel this year to $80 in 2020, and (4) natural gas prices will decline slightly and continue to fuel a remarkable industrial boom in Louisiana. That industrial boom and a revived oil and gas industry should produce a nice recovery from the 2015-17 recession, with 2020 being particularly strong for the state. There are nine Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in Louisiana and 29 parishes designated “rural.” Our outlook for each is as follows: • The New Orleans MSA is projected to be the seventh fastest growing MSA in the state, adding 6,500 jobs (+1.1%) in 2019 and 9,100 jobs (+1.6%) in 2020. Huge industrial projects on the “edges” of this MSA---especially to the west in St. James Parish and to the east in Plaquemines Parish---will drive this growth. Very upbeat LNG and methanol industries will be the key to this resurgence. Nice infusions from the tech sector--- including the 2,000+ DXC Technology, iMerit, and Accruent---and big hires at Michoud will add another bump. • After a brief lull in industrial projects in the Baton Rouge MSA several major projects will start up over 2019-20, providing a major kick to the construction sector. This MSA is expected to tie for second place in economic growth over the next two years, adding 6,000 jobs in 2019 (+1.5%) and another 8,100 in 2020 (+1.9%). Over half a billion in road projects, including widening of I-10 from the bridge to the split will also infuse the construction sector. • Oil prices rising to $80 a barrel is expected to revive the Lafayette MSA and that, combined with solid performance by the MSA’s Big Five---Stuller, Acadian Ambulance, the Schumacher Group, GCI, and LHC---is expected to generate 1,400 new jobs (+0.7%) in 2019 and a more robust 4,900 jobs (+2.4%) in 2020. • After falling to 12,700 jobs below its 2008 peak, the state’s fourth largest MSA--- Shreveport-Bossier---is projected to return to a positive, though modest growth mode over the next two years. This MSA is projected to add 600 jobs a year or an annual growth rate of 0.3%, ninth among the state’s nine MSAs. While activity at the Port of Shreveport-Bossier and the tech facility CSRA remain a bright spot in this economy, the region suffers from a lack of major announcements supporting the next two years. • Remarkably, the fastest growing MSA in the country over 2013-18 is the Lake Charles MSA. We have documented almost $117 billion in projects announced for this region since 2012---an unheard of number. About half of those projects have yet to start construction, something we expect to change, especially in mid-to-late 2019 when three LNG projects are expected to go vertical. Lake Charles is expected to continue in its iv role as the fastest growing MSA in the state, adding 4,000 jobs (+3.3%) in 2019 and another 5,300 jobs (+4.3%) in 2020. • After much bloodletting, the corner appears to have been turned in the Houma MSA. Fabricators and shipbuilders are making a reasonably successful shift to non-extraction- related customers. An oil price of $80 a barrel by 2020 is expected to start a serious revival in the Gulf by 2020. We are projecting 700 new jobs (+0.8%) in 2019 and a healthier, extraction-driven bump of 2,100 jobs (+2.4%) in 2020. • Like Shreveport-Bossier, we remain concerned about the Monroe MSA. Chase Mortgage Processing, IBM, Graphics Packaging and Vantage Health Plan provide stability to the area. We remain concerned about the future of CenturyLink post-merger. These concerns have tempered our forecasts for Monroe, especially in 2020. We project 400 new jobs (+0.5%) in 2019 and 200 more (+0.3%) in 2020. • A special 2-year IT project at Cleco in the Alexandria MSA will be ending in 2019. That event, combined with few new announced prospects, also has tempered our projections for this MSA. Key players like P&G, Crest Industries, Union Tank Car, and Cleco will maintain a steady base for the region. Vanishing temporary IT jobs at Cleco should keep the region’s growth rate flat in 2019, and about 500 new jobs (+0.8%) are projected for 2020. • Resolution of the fiscal cliff without major cuts to SLU supports a positive future for the Hammond MSA over the next two years. Dealing with Medicaid expansion effects is limiting growth from the region’s other large employer---North Oaks Hospital—but we expect this college town and region to add 800 jobs a year over 2019-20, a very nice growth rate of 1.7% a year.

  • The Battles of Mansfield (Sabine Crossroads) and Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, 8 and 9 April 1864
    RICE UNIVERSITY DEAD-END AT THE CROSSROADS: THE BATTLES OF MANSFIELD (SABINE CROSSROADS) AND PLEASANT HILL, LOUISIANA, 8 AND 9 APRIL 1864 by Richard Leslie Riper, Jr. A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director's Signature Houston, Texas May, 1976 Abstract Dead-End at the Crossroads: The Battles of Mansfield (Sabine Cross¬ roads) and Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, 8 and 9 April 1864 Richard Leslie Riper, Jr. On 8 April 1864 a Union army commanded by Major General Nathaniel P. Banks was defeated by a Confederate army commanded by Major General Richard Taylor at the small town of Mansfield, Louisiana. In Union records the engagement was recorded as the battle of Sabine Crossroads, and the defeat signaled the "high-water mark" for the Union advance toward Shreveport. General Banks, after repeated urging by Major General Henry Hal- leck, General-in-Chief of the Union Army, had launched a drive up the Red River through Alexandria and Natchitoches to capture Shreveport, the industrial hub of the Trans-Mississippi Department. From New Or¬ leans and Berwick, Louisiana, and from Vicksburg, Mississippi, the Fédérais converged on Alexandria. From Little Rock, Arkansas, a Union column under Major General Frederick Steele was to join Banks at Shreve¬ port. Three major infantry forces and the Union Navy under Admiral David D. Porter were to participate in the campaign, yet no one was given supreme authority to coordinate the forces. Halleck's orders were for the separate commands only to co-operate with Banks--a clear viola¬ tion of the principle of unity of command.

Delivery of the 154′ Sentinel-class FRC was on June 7 in Key West, Fla. The FRC has been described as an operational “game changer,” by senior Coast Guard officials, Bollinger officials said in a statement announcing the delivery. To build the FRC, Bollinger used a proven, in-service parent craft design based on the Damen Stan Patrol Boat 4708. It has a flank speed of 28 knots, state of the art command, control, communications and computer technology, and a stern launch system for the vessel’s 26′ cutter boat. “We are proud to announce the delivery of the latest FRC, the USCGC Forrest Rednour,” Ben Bordelon, Bollinger president & CEO, said in the prepared statement. “The vessel’s commissioning is scheduled for November 2018 in southern California.
