Westbank Retail Growth - Debunking Preceptions

Andy Peach, with General Growth Properties, & General Manager of Oakwood Center discusses the comeback of a major retail player in the market.

We also debunk a news story about the west bank and prove that the paper got it wrong. Positive growth is a visible and tangible fact on the west bank, yet journalist want to use their media power to write negative drivel that has no basis in fact.

You make your own decisions on this topic. Dozens of new retailers have opened shop on the west bank. Is that a negative???

Did corporate decision making help save a major player in West Bank retail?

We view corporate decisions as money driven, profit seeking reasons to do something. Well thank goodness this decision was made. Had the decision to stay not been made, there would be a big gapping hole in the west bank retail market.

Creating a Movie, about Creating a Company

Southern States Renewable Energy is building the first wind farm in Louisiana in St. Mary Parish. This company is taking on a herculean task by creating a new source of energy and in addition, taking on the giants of the energy industry.

The political and regulatory hurdles seem insurmountable. What are our team of "wind catters" to do? Sounds like a line out of a movie trailer, right?

Well, actually it is. A team of producers are following the path that these trailblazers are cutting, and documenting the struggles and trials of a paradigm shifting start-up.

Louisiana's First Wind Farm-A Start-Up Story


We are very familiar with our winds in Louisiana, they create the tides that affect our seafood industry and recreational activities. Now we can put those winds to good use.

Bill Gallardo, along with partners John Treen, Sr, and Larry Favalora have started Southern State Renewable Energy and are developing the first wind farm in Louisiana, located in St. Mary Parish.

And this is no small undertaking. Regulatory, permitting, construction cost are just a small sample of the hurdles that they have overcome and are still facing.

In addition to this seemingly insurmountable challenge, two local film makers are documenting the drama and stress of creating an industry changing business (see post "Film makers document wind farm start-up")
