Edible Enterprises Food Technology
Incubator is currently “under construction.”
It is being created to meet the needs
of the River Parishes and the Greater New Orleans
Metropolitan Area for an incubator providing food
technology production space. The River Parishes
Community Development Foundation has provided for the
planning and development process. St. Charles Parish
Government has purchased the building, which will be
leased to the CDC. Other Edible Enterprises Planning
Partners include: GNO,Inc., LSU School of Agriculture,
Goodwill Industries, Loubat, Inc., USDA, LSU Extension
Service, and the Norco Community Economic Development
Foundation (NCEDF). The Edible Enterprises Board is
composed of community and business volunteers.
Current plans call for the Incubator
to open in late Fall of 2007.
