An Interview with the Mayor
What are the current plans for Economic Development efforts in Central? As you know, our Economic Development consultant, Steve Vassallo, came up as the top candidate in a nationwide search and has been hired full time by Terrebonne Parish. I am now going through a search process to see whom Central might attract to fill that position, but our efforts in Economic Development will not be interrupted.

Support Quality Growth in Central, Louisiana

A Word from the Mayor

Mayor Mac Watts, City of Central, Louisiana

There are many reasons why a business would want to either relocate or expand to the City of Central, Louisiana.  The “risk” of your investment in Central is as minimal as any location in the United States today.  Our community is growing significantly for all of the right reasons.  Our superior school system; our low crime rate; our proximity to exceptional medical facilities; and our affordable cost of living are all driving this growth.  We also have a quality trained workforce to meet (and most likely exceed) your employment needs.  We have two major airports close enough to our city to provide business travelers with an option.

Please give us a close look…you are going to like what you see!

Sincerely,
Mac Watts, Mayor
