MANDEVILLE, LA – Chris Masingill, CEO of St. Tammany Corporation, and John Crosby, CEO of Crosby Development, are pleased to announce the formal unveiling of the Gulf South Commerce Park at the intersection of Interstate 12 and Louisiana Highway 1088. St. Tammany Corporation has worked in collaboration with Crosby Development and St. Tammany Parish Government leadership on the creation of a comprehensive master plan for the 919-acre site centered around the Advanced Manufacturing and Logistics industries (AML). Thoughtful planning, deployment of smart growth practices, and implementation of appropriate infrastructure ensure the viability of this development, which will offer significant opportunities for job creation and business expansion within St. Tammany Parish’s footprint. The Gulf South Commerce Park is a major asset for St. Tammany Parish, the Greater New Orleans Region, and the State of Louisiana; the geographic positioning, existing industry base, and deep labor pool from which to draw all work together to set this development up for long-term sustainability.

The Gulf South Commerce Park will be developed in a multi-phased approach. Phase 1 encompasses the southernmost 189 development-ready acres, and immediate efforts have been concentrated on site preparation and project development of this portion of the site. The first stage of Phase 1 includes a portion dedicated to the potential construction of a spec building with the intent to accelerate the recruitment of future tenants.
