Making An Impact

Thanks to the support of 1A investors and the regional business community, One Acadiana is able to execute a program of work designed to advance the region’s economic landscape while providing expansive menu of benefits provided to investors and members.

In 2025, 1A began a new five-year campaign focused on propelling Acadiana forward as one of the most dynamic and desirable regions in the South for business and talent alike. Both measurable and accountable, this plan aligns financial and partner organization resources to achieve both synergy and an exponential return on investment.

With strategic objectives and clear goals, the support of 1A investors and the regional business community is fueling Acadiana’s future.

2025-2029 IMPACT Campaign Objectives:

1. Attract and Retain High-Paying Jobs
2. Strengthen Acadiana’s Workforce and Attract New Skilled Talent
3. Enhance Acadiana’s Livability and Place-based Assets
4. Provide a Unified, Regional Voice on Business and Infrastructure Advocacy

Join Our Mission

We achieved impressive results in the first year of this campaign including 2,900+ new direct jobs, $379 million in capital investment, and over $203 million in new annual payroll. ​This impact is the product of unified strategic efforts in coordination with regional partners throughout the public and private sectors. Going forward, it will take a concerted, consistent and professional effort to build on past success and achieve future results.

One Acadiana is continuing to seek regional community leaders and investors that share in our vision of economic growth and prosperity.
