LEDA Unveils Lafayette’s First EPI at State of the Economy Luncheon May 17

Billeaud Capital Management and Acadiana Economic Development Council combine forces as presenting sponsors of this inaugural event.

In just over two weeks, LEDA will unveil its first-ever Economic Performance Index, an ambitious project that pulls together more than 1,500 data points into 15 key statistics critical to local business decision-makers. CEO Gregg Gothreaux touts his staff’s in-house ability and acumen in this endeavor, which he sees as a critical service to LEDA’s constituents at a pivotal time in business. “Although Lafayette’s economy remains robust by comparison to most in the U.S., local business decision-makers take nothing for granted and have never been more eager for quality information,” he says. LEDA’s EPI report will be presented for the first time at the inaugural LEDA State of the Economy Luncheon on May 17 at the Cajundome Convention Center at noon.
