Assumption Parish

The parish of Assumption anchors the Bayou Region at its northern boundaries yet connects directly to the Gulf of Mexico by way of its extensive waterways to the south. Bordering the Atchafalaya Basin - one of the world's largest natural water systems - the parish is a natural setting for fisheries, marine transportation, industrial fabrication and recreation. The parish holds large tracts of developable lands with access to the Mississippi River port system, rail, and roadways connecting north/south by LA Highway 70 and east/west by LA Highways 1 and 308 and I-49/U.S. 90.

Economic Indicators

Assumption Parish is located just west of the Mississippi River and the industrial corridor that stretches along the river between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Assumption Parish is conveniently situated near the industrial activity of both the Mississippi River region and the Gulf of Mexico coastal area surrounding Morgan City to the south. Although agriculture dominates the local economic base, related industrial activity, including sugar processing and refining, also impact the local economy. A sizeable labor force, abundant raw materials, location near a corridor of significant industrial activity, and available land for commercial and industrial development make Assumption Parish an ideal prospect for continued growth
