Welcome
As businesses need governmental policies that unleash the strength of the private sector, the Jefferson Business Council assists parish leaders in developing strategies for economic development and growth. Through advocacy and leadership, we foster open, frequent communication between community and government officials.
Accomplishments

These include flood protection, crime, public education, healthcare, beautification, insurance, economic development and the redevelopment of Fat City.
