The Capitol Park Museum is just one of a dozen stops on the Louisiana State Capitol grounds. Be certain to include a visit to the Louisiana State Capitol building. As the tale goes, in 1931 Gov. Huey Long commissioned the building of the tallest state capitol building in the nation. (He was angry at attempts to impeach him in the old capitol building.) Curiously, this very structure was the site of then Sen. Long’s assassination. A bullet hole from the assassination is visible, as is a large splinter lodged in the ceiling of the Senate chamber from a 1970 bombing.

Also located on the river is the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, housed in a historic rail- road depot, where highlights include planetarium sky shows and an ancient Egypt gallery.

You may see local chefs doing their shop- ping Saturday mornings at the Red Stick Farmer’s Market in downtown Baton Rouge. With Baton Rouge’s history of Spanish, French, British, American, Cajun and Creole, it’s no wonder that the community is considered a melting pot of flavors. It’s only fitting that the Louisiana Culinary Institute would choose the city for its facility. In addition to training aspir- ing chefs in culinary and pastry arts, the school opens its doors to scheduled demonstrations and hands-on cook- ing classes. Nearby attractions make Baton Rouge ideal for hub & spoke tours. In Vacherie and Darrow, respectively, are Laura Plantation, where Creoles lived for more than 200 years, and Houmas House, considered the crown jewel of Louisiana’s River Road. Nottoway Plantation and Oak Alley Plantation are also just a short drive. Some groups may find a visit to the Louisiana State Penitentiary Museum at Angola of interest. Yes, that Angola which in the 1960s had a reputation as the “Bloodiest Prison in the South.” The museum tells the story from the peni- tentiary’s earliest days to its present as a model facility. Between Baton Rouge and New Or- leans on the banks of the Mississippi River is the National Hansen’s Disease Museum. An abandoned plantation became the Louisiana Leper Home in 1894, one of two in the U.S. Operated by physi- cians from the National Public Health Services and Daughters of Charity, the facility officially closed in 1999. The sightseeing possibilities in Baton Rouge and be- yond are endless, making this part of Louisiana a prime spot for group tours.

The Historic Site is planning to lease approximately 10 houses AT LINCOLN HOME for low-key business, commercial, George L. Painter or professional use. This can be done under the provisions of the 1980 amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act. As part of the program, the lessee must preserve, restore, and maintain the exterior of the structure during the term of the lease. In turn, the lessee will be permitted to adap- tively restore the interior, subject to the restriction that major architec­ tural features must be preserved. In early 1985, the Site launched the program by announcing that the Corneau and Stuve Houses would be made available for leas­ ing. From 1855 to 1860, the Cor­ neau House was the residence of Lincoln's friend, pharmacist Charles Corneau. Historic records show that the Lincoln family purchased such items as "Cough Candy," "Caster Oil," and "Hair Balsam" at the Corneau and Diller drugstore. The Stuve House, on the other hand, was constructed more than ten years after Lincoln's One-half million people visit the Lincoln Home in Springfield, IL each year departure from Springfield.

    2021 SWLA Projects Report: Detailed 5.28.21 Compiled by the Southwest Louisiana Economic Development Alliance, this report reflects projects as of May 2021. Some of these projects may have been announced or started in prior years. Where information is available, we have included the history and stage of the project. All information in this report is either provided by the company themselves, from LED Fastlane, IMCAL or from press releases provided through media. This is not an exhaustive list of all projects in SWLA as some companies are in phases where they are not ready to publicly share information about their projects. Southwest Louisiana Task Force for Growth & Opportunity (GO Group) The Southwest Louisiana Task Force for Growth and Opportunity (GO Group), formed in early 2013, is focused on developing strategies to ensure the successful implementation of planned economic development projects for Southwest Louisiana. It was formed by local community leaders, stakeholders, and elected officials to identify the various socioeconomic issues involved with such projects. The GO Group aims to assist local governmental agencies in planning, policy development, and implementation of a strategic plan that identifies the short-term and long-term preparation and response actions necessary to achieve the economic and social benefits from the successful implementation of the announced economic development projects; to address the multiple related issues; and to also accommodate and support current and future economic growth throughout the five parish region. The goal of this strategic planning process is to ensure that Southwest Louisiana emerges from this growth and development stronger, smarter, and more diversified than before, and that local communities are positioned to take advantage of the ancillary social and economic development potential associated with the implementation of these projects.

    AHOY SHIPMATES, FAMILY & FRIENDS We hope you noticed the new masthead for the newsletter. Hats off to Rolf Buchener for the new design. In 2020 plans are underway to restructure the way the newsletter is published. As many of you know we are limited to the number of pages that can be published due to the costs of mailing. Therefore in 2020 we are going to be producing two publications. One specifically designed for USPS mailing and the other de- signed for emailing. If we do not have your email, please submit it so we can add you to the email distribution list. 2019 certainly was a busy year. The 50th of course, was our main event, but other happenings took place this year. We were able to dedicate two memorial stones: Illinois and California. Both are covered in this newsletter. We have three remaining states to be set: Michigan, North Carolina and West Virginia. Our target is to have them all complet- ed by Memorial Day,. Also, this summer our objective to get the names on the wall gained momentum with a Senate Bill and the Amendment in the NDDA. As of the publication of this news- letter both are still active, and our fingers are crossed that they will be voted upon soon. Please keep the pressure on your governmental representative. We have had a strong presence across the country. We can’t back off now. Lastly, mark your calendars for October 21—24, 2020 for the reunion in San Anto- nio, Texas. We have contracted with the Historic Menger Hotel in downtown San Anto- nio.
