Pineville, La. – Cleco Power has revealed its latest economic development website, ClecoDev.com, designed as a comprehensive digital platform for businesses and industries considering expansion or relocation to Louisiana.
The website showcases the essential elements of Louisiana’s economy that contribute to its position as one of the nation’s top business environments. These include a diverse and dynamic workforce, attractive corporate relocation tax incentives, and a strong transportation and logistics network, among others. The site also highlights Cleco Power’s clean energy plan, assisting industries in meeting their ever-changing sustainability targets.
Richard Cornelison, Cleco Power’s director of marketing and economic development, said, “ClecoDev.com is a result of our renewed strategic focus on bolstering our communities and attracting new industries to Louisiana by showcasing everything our incredible state has to offer.” The website serves as an invaluable resource for site selectors, businesses, and other local and state partners, featuring interactive maps of ready-to-develop sites, testimonials from major employers in Cleco’s service area, information on Louisiana’s abundant natural resources, and more.
