Washington Parish's workforce has demonstrated its potential across a variety of technical and heavy industries including paper production, computer service call centers, and recreational boat building. The Bogalusa Airport offers businesses a convenient and direct link to operations within the Parish and major airports in nearby Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Gulfport offer commercial air service on a variety of carriers.  Washington Parish also has a variety of available buildings and sites in business parks that are ready for development.

Not only is Washington Parish a great place to do business, but it offers a relaxed and safe rural setting located near the amenities of Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Click Here for an overview of the Parish's Quality of Life.
