Economic Development Strategy
Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission (JEDCO)
Fourth Economy is supporting the Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission (JEDCO) with an update of their parish-wide economic development strategy - the EDGE Plan. The EDGE Plan is the parish’s strategic roadmap “for promoting sustainability, job growth, and investment in Jefferson Parish.”
This 2030 update for the EDGE Plan is the sixth rendition of the report, which has yielded economic outcomes in the parish such as neighborhood revitalization, growth in the housing stock, and the creation of a new business park. This EDGE plan will help to support industry development in key sectors such as healthcare, food and beverage, and manufacturing, guide an investment strategy into development and re-development projects, and ensure that the parish remains a competitive, attractive place to live, work, and play.
Our Approach
Fourth Economy is working with Trepwise, a New Orleans-based firm specializing in organizational planning, on a variety of tasks related to economic analysis, stakeholder engagement and facilitation, plan development and design, and a roadmap for plan implementation
