    BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA

    Strategy and operations consulting in Baton Rouge.

    Louisiana's capital and a petrochemical center on the Mississippi River, combining state government, LSU, large refining and chemical complexes, and the industrial contractors that maintain them.

    THE LOCAL ECONOMY

    What drives business in Baton Rouge.

    ExxonMobil's Baton Rouge refinery and chemical plant and Dow's Plaquemine site sit at the upriver end of the chemical corridor that runs toward New Orleans, where deep-draft ships can still reach plants and docks. A large industrial services sector, led by Baton Rouge-based Turner Industries, handles construction, maintenance and plant turnarounds. State government, LSU and Southern University, and health systems such as Our Lady of the Lake round out an economy that also includes Lamar Advertising's headquarters.

    WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE

    The decisions in front of Baton Rouge management teams.

    Industrial contractors live on turnaround schedules and capital project cycles set by a small number of large plant owners, which makes workload and cash lumpy. Skilled crafts such as welders, pipefitters and instrument technicians are in constant demand along the corridor. Flood and hurricane exposure, rising insurance costs and Louisiana's industrial tax exemption rules all influence where and how companies invest.
