Louisiana Studies ED Programs

Louisiana Tech has won a state contract to evaluate Louisiana's economic development strategy and compare them to those in surrounding states.

The Legislature had ordered the state administration division and Department of Economic Development to have such a report made. They chose Tech from among several universities.

These are difficult studies to accomplish, especially with thin information and data available to evaluate performance over time. I know all about these things, having headed a similar two-year study of Ohio's ED programs a couple of years ago.
