What defines the Capital Region

THE NINE-PARISH Capital Region serves as the hub for Louisiana’s newest economic developments and growing, diverse population. With a full-time civilian workforce of more than 167,000, the region is arguably one of Louisiana’s most important centers for industrial construction, manufacturing, education and government. Sources for all data are Federal Reserve Economic Data, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census 2022 American Community Survey.

THE POWER BOOK

Vision 2025

Leaders from a variety of sectors share their forecasts for the year to come, giving us a glimpse into the key developments and innovation that will shape the Capital Region.

ECONOMY

Jobs, jobs and more jobs

Projections are that the Baton Rouge MSA will continue on its strong job growth path for the next two years, adding 7,900 jobs in 2025 and 8,300 jobs in 2026—annual growth rates of 1.9%. These 16,200 new jobs would represent the fastest absolute growth rate of all the MSAs in the state.

The most important driver of the Baton Rouge MSA economy will most assuredly be industrial construction. We have tabulated $10.5 billion in projects under construction and another $18.1 billion in projects awaiting a final investment decision.

A survey by the Greater Baton Rouge Industrial Alliance suggests the number of skilled workers needed in the region will leap from 17,036 in the first quarter of 2024 to a peak of 47,208 in the second quarter of 2026, a remarkable tripling of skilled labor needs. According to the survey, skilled labor demand will remain above 40,000 through 2026.

Prospects for growth at the Port of Greater Baton Rouge will be enhanced by the $20 million expansion of the northern liquid bulk terminal slated to begin in 2025, which will allow for a fourth deep draft vessel. Construction on the berth was supposed to start last year, but permitting issues with the Army Corps of Engineers and PIANCE—the international berthing standards group—created a delay.

In addition to these industrial projects, ground was broken in March 2024 on the $148 million Lake Interdisciplinary Science Building on the LSU campus. This 200,000-square-foot, four-story building is a result of a collaboration with Our Lady of the Lake Health System.

The Baton Rouge MSA has done well in securing road lettings from the Legislature for FY24-FY26. The total lettings are $778 million, up from $653.2 million last year (+19%). Among the larger projects are:

• $165 million to continue work on the La. 1 to La. 415 connector

• $96.5 million for the La. 1 Port Allen bridge replacement

• $65.2 million for work on Interstate 110 from North Street to Plank Road

The separate $716 million for phase one of the widening of Interstate 10 from Washington Street to Essen is underway. And we are hopefully entering the last year and a half of work on the $1.4 billion Comite River Diversion Canal, a project that should dramatically reduce flooding in Baton Rouge.

HEALTH CARE

Three things to watch in health care

Innovation

I remain excited about the innovation that I see happening in our health care system and in the industry across the board. We in health care are constantly finding ways to evolve with technology to create better diagnostics, find and treat conditions sooner, and manage care in more convenient ways. At Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, we have renewed our commitment to both research and innovation because we believe our patients deserve that bestin-class care, right here in their own communities. Locally, our partnership between OLOL and LSU has already resulted in amazing advancements and breakthroughs. It will be imperative for health care organizations to create the environments where this type of innovation can continue to flourish.

Recruitment and retention of top talent

Attracting top talent to the health care industry is crucial for its sustainability and growth. There has been an increased spotlight in recent years on the need to recruit and retain top talent in the health care field. As we strive to attract the best and brightest, I think you will see further collaboration and coordination between health care organizations and educational institutions to develop comprehensive training programs and career pathways that can meet this growing demand across all areas of the field. Our health care system has been invested in this work for over 100 years through Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University. FranU has continued to grow programs and offerings to meet our industry’s evolving needs. We are also focused on providing a variety of opportunities for growth for those already committed to a career in health care.

Access

People are at the heart of our mission in health care, and there has certainly been a renewed focus on ensuring access to high-quality health care. Whether that is providing critical access points to our rural communities or strategically placing primary care providers in areas that have a renewed need, it’s incumbent on us as health care leaders to create more access and entry points to high-quality networks and providers.

After ending 2024 in a strong position, I am excited to see our health care system and the industry as a whole find creative approaches to some of these opportunities that will propel us into the future of health care.

E.J. KUIPER, president and CEO, Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System

COMMUNITY

A transformational year for Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge is poised for a breakthrough in 2025, a year where opportunity meets urgency. With historic investments in energy, pioneering research at LSU and Southern University, strengthened collaborations across K-12 systems and community colleges that create new pathways for growth, and fresh Metro Council and mayoral terms, Baton Rouge stands at a pivotal moment, ready to define its future.

Leading as an industrial hub for innovation

Baton Rouge’s industrial legacy has positioned the region as a leader for technological innovation, particularly in sectors related to energy and chemicals. Greater Baton Rouge boasts over $35 billion in potential economic investment from companies considering industrial projects in hydrogen, ammonia and critical minerals, as well as in technologies that drive sustainability and resilience. Technologies such as carbon capture and cybersecurity bridge our industrial legacy with an innovative future, making the region a model for innovation and a hub for global energy solutions.

Harnessing the power of collaboration

Meanwhile, public-private partnerships and coalitions are uniting to address critical challenges, including public safety, talent retention and quality of life. These efforts, including the redevelopment of the River Center and Memorial Stadium Park, the new LSU arena, and Plan Baton Rouge III, underscore a commitment to advancement, proving that united action is the foundation of transformative progress.

Redefining Baton Rouge’s future

2025 is more than a new year—it’s a tipping point. By embracing innovation and fostering collaboration, Baton Rouge is charting a course toward longterm prosperity, determined to thrive as a dynamic and prosperous community.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

A year of opportunity

The Baton Rouge commercial real estate market is the pulse of our local economy. It is not only a display of the vibrancy of our community and the many businesses that call the Capital Region home; it’s a barometer, directly reflecting the overall financial health of our city and its residents.

Recently, the commercial real estate sector has seen large variances in year-to-year total transaction volume. Near all-time-high transaction volume in 2021 and in 2022 gave way to some hesitation and pullback in 2023, caused primarily by the late-2022 interest rate explosion.

The year 2024 has been marked by stabilization, though transaction volume has trailed prior years. The heartbeat of the market was steady, but it’s clear that our community was holding its breath in light of an uncertain future. However, following the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut in September, Baton Rouge seemed to give a sigh of relief. Transactions picked up notably in the fourth quarter, with several multimillion-dollar commercial properties trading hands.

This trend will continue and 2025 will be a year of incredible opportunity. As the Fed continues to cut rates and as borrowing costs continue to decrease, both buyers and sellers will reap the benefits. Purchasers will be able to make business and investment decisions that previously were out of reach. Sellers will benefit from an enlarged buyer pool and many properties that sat dormant will enter the market.

SMALL BUSINESS

How to adapt, grow and thrive in 2025

As we step into 2025, organizational development and human resources continue to be shaped by global trends, technological advancements and evolving workforce transitions. I’ve seen the changes in generational shifts, and global challenges highlight the need to develop resilient leaders and cohesive teams. Here are a few issues that will be front and center, influencing how businesses adapt, grow and thrive.

Talent acquisition and retention

The talent race is growing with Gen Z and millennial workers pushing for meaningful work, flexibility and career growth opportunities. Businesses should invest heavily in leadership development, succession planning, reskilling and upskilling to stay competitive. This will create a culture of continuous learning that will not only enhance workforce capabilities but also improve employee retention and engagement. Think about how your business can be the employer of choice

Leadership development

Leaders in 2025 will need to move beyond traditional management techniques and take a more people-focused approach. This includes prioritizing emotional intelligence, empathy and adaptability. Employees want leaders who foster trust, inclusivity and transparency while navigating uncertain times. Leadership development programs should focus on skills critical for the future workplace, such as decision-making in ambiguity, technological fluency and cross-cultural communication.

Technology transfer

AI is not going anywhere, so get on board or get left behind. The increase in AI and automation will require some businesses to restructure roles, reskill employees and address the ethical implications of technology. Leaders will need to guide teams in leveraging AI, automation and data-driven insights while ensuring responsible use.

Businesses that invest in these areas will be positioned to navigate future challenges. Growth will favor businesses that embrace development at every level, creating workplaces that are innovative, diverse, equitable, inclusive and deeply connected to their purpose.

LAKEISHA ROBICHAUX, CEO, Chief of Minds

BANKING AND FINANCE

Challenges of 2025: some old, some new

A new year brings both excitement and angst in the form of opportunities and challenges. While some changes are exciting, others cause us stress due to one of the greatest, yet unacknowledged fears: the unknown. However, it’s necessary to identify the issues where we’re able to control the outcome, and which ones where we do not.

Some of the most significant obstacles facing the Capital Region are neither a mystery, nor new. In fact, there are issues that seem to keep coming up: property insurance, improving our state’s business climate, crime and infrastructure. In a sense, it feels like déjà vu all over again. However, it’s my hope that finding the correct paths to improving these areas will become clearer.

I’m hoping that our community leaders will have the courage to make consequential and meaningful positive change and enlist the cooperation of those in the business community to do so. I’m confident that responsible corporate citizens will be ready and willing to work in concert with one another—finding more common ground than differences—in order to help make 225 the best version of itself.

As 2025 begins, important questions such as the direction of interest rates, inflation and the economy remain unanswered. With this in mind, I encourage everyone to identify a dependable banking partner that best suits your needs.

SCOTT GAUDIN, president and CEO, Currency Bank

ENERGY

Leading the transition

In 2025, Louisiana will continue to take steps to become an international leader in the energy transition.

Driven by growing global demand, the state’s energy sector will continue to diversify and evolve.

Louisiana will continue the development as a hub for carbon capture, utilization and storage, leveraging its existing energy infrastructure, geology and strategic location. Hydrogen will be another area of focus, with the development of large-scale projects positioning Louisiana as a national hub.

The state will see investments in sustainable aviation fuels, petrochemicals and advanced biofuels. We also anticipate growth in renewable energy infrastructure, including utility-scale solar and potentially offshore wind.

Underpinning these advancements will be an emphasis on workforce development and community engagement. Communities increasingly want to know how these historic levels of investment will impact their areas. Efforts are underway to ensure that Louisiana residents have the skills necessary to capitalize on the evolving energy landscape and deliver economic prosperity for the state.

Mike Hackley and Richard Stewart

Metal Fab Guys

Mike Hackley has always been a strong believer in organic growth. By managing his businesses in a controlled, financially sustainable manner, the entrepreneur has been able to more nimbly respond to customer needs without accumulating debt.

But after a COVID-19 health scare in 2020, Hackley decided he’d had enough of the business world. He subsequently sold his BBQGuys.com empire – which had grown into a $300 million a year enterprise – so that he could travel and spend more time with his family. “I was set on just being retired and enjoying the good life,” says the 59-year-old Hackley.

That all changed in 2023, however, when his former manager of R&D and manufacturing at BBQGuys.com, Richard Stewart, approached him with a unique business proposition – a Louisiana-based fabrication facility that would specialize in the automated mass production of metal products. “I’ve always been a metals guy,” Hackley says. “That was in my wheelhouse, so it piqued my interest.”

The idea was born out of the supply chain issues suffered during the pandemic, when manufactured metal products were difficult, if not impossible, to find in the U.S. Hackley and Stewart set out to change that

paradigm with Metal Fab Guys, and a few months ago opened an 11,000-square-foot facility in Walker. They also invested significantly in automated equipment that will enable them to offer a variety of high-precision sheet metal fabrication and manufacturing services in the commercial space.

While there’s been no official grand opening, the company’s machines have been running non-stop ever since, with Hackley’s reputation with BBQGuys.com responsible for much of the early work. “The word got out and we had more than 1,000 inquiries from potential customers,” Hackley says. “The whole concept behind Metal Fab Guys is to bring manufacturing back to America, with a focus on sheet metal production.”

The real differentiator, though, is the company’s automated approach to manufacturing. Metal Fab Guys is able to mass produce projects literally around the clock with its equipment for sheet laser cutting, tube laser cutting, powder coating, metal forming, and laser welding. They also operate a high-tolerance AMADA press break and have teachable robotic welders.

“A customer will give us their CAD file and our engineers will break it down into every little piece and panel, nut and screw,” Stewart says. “Then, we use fiber lasers, rather than water jet or plasma cutting methods,

to provide a more efficient, faster and ultimately cheaper process. Other methods require a lot of residual cleanup and an army of workers is needed to grind and polish the metal.”

Speed to market is another differentiator. “Customers will say they need 1,100 pieces of a certain product cut in a month, and we’ll be done in four days later,” Hackley says. “That’s because of the automation. As long as there is metal in the racks, we can turn the lights out and it will make parts all night long.”

Metal Fab Guys is in a constant state of evolution, as Hackley and Stewart remain committed to growing the business in an organic fashion. In fact, they already have plans to add another building at their 5-acre Walker site. “If a customer comes up to us and asks us to do something and we don’t have the machine, we go out and buy the machine,” Hackley says.

Today, Metal Fab Guys can cut more than 500 sheets of material per week with only four shop employees, largely due to their automated processes. “We’re a partnership-based business,” he adds. “When we start working with a client, our priority is to understand their challenges and deliver efficient, tailored solutions to solve their mass production needs with ease.” Stewart says.

Newly launched Metal Fab Guys fills niche

INSTITUTIONAL EXPERTISE

ACG’S DISTINCTION IN PRIVATE MARKET MANAGEMENT

Acadian Capital Group distinguishes itself through its institutional approach to private market management, a methodology rooted in precision, scalability and strategic foresight. This approach is instrumental across all core divisions, enabling value creation for investors, family office clients and portfolio companies.

Acadian Capital Group combines technological sophistication, analytical rigor, and operational expertise into its due diligence process. Based on the McKinsey Way, there are 5 main phases: Framing, Design, Gather, Interpret and Present.

Thomas Trahan, director of Private Market Research, explains, “In Framing and Design, we build the foundation of our diligence efforts, including proprietary work-plans and diligence templates. In Gather and Interpret, we identify the facts and conduct our analysis of the opportunity. And finally, in Present, we construct a framework that provides well documented support of our findings and recommendations.”

Focusing on venture and private equity, ACG identifies opportunities in seed, Series A and mid-market companies, targeting prospects in overlooked geographies and markets.

This diligence method informs the decision making for the Acadian Venture Fund, the Private Equity Division and the Private Market Management Team. With a comprehensive

view of the operations of a company, ACG deploys capital into businesses and takes on a meaningful leadership and operational role.

The Private Market Management Team operates each portfolio company with an eye to scalability, emphasizing systems and processes that deliver sustainable growth, focusing on multiple expansion, sales growth and operational efficiency. This not only enhances profitability, but also positions these companies for successful exits. By prioritizing operational excellence, ACG turns businesses into assets that are not just viable but valuable.

Miranda Himel, director of Family Office Management, says all divisions benefit from

the company’s approach to private markets. “In a field where many firms rely on limited services or narrow scopes of engagement, our institutional approach to private markets is comprehensive and sophisticated. Insights gained through due diligence are integrated into M&A strategies and the capital deployment for our family office clients, ensuring opportunities are properly vetted and risks are identified.”

ACG’s focus on private markets is one of the pillars of its success, enabling the firm to uncover unique opportunities and create lasting value. Visit acadiancap.com or scan the QR code to learn more.

Going Above and Beyond in Baton Rouge.

In 1937, Jones Walker LLP began as a small law firm in New Orleans. We’re now one of the largest firms in the US, serving a broad range of industries, from energy and healthcare to banking and construction. Our Baton Rouge office opened in 1980 and has grown to more than 40 attorneys. While we’ve certainly changed over the years, what hasn’t changed is our steadfast commitment to communities like Baton Rouge and helping our clients meet their legal challenges. Perhaps that’s why The BTI Consulting Group, which conducts hundreds of in-house counsel interviews to identify the top client service firms in the nation, named Jones Walker to its Client Service 30 list.

Industry Outlook

What sector leaders say will impact the Louisiana energy market in 2025 and beyond

“This is really Louisiana’s opportunity. I think we haven’t seen economic investment like this perhaps ever in the history of the state. The amount of money that’s coming in here is in the tens of billions of dollars. It’s probably going to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars before we’re done. That can be transformative for the whole state.”

BRAD IVES, executive director, Louisiana Institute for Energy Innovation, on recent industrial investment announcements in the state

“On a global scale, we expect to see our population increase from where it is today at 8 billion people to 10 billion. So that additional 2 billion population will come with an increased demand for energy. We also will see that there are a number of nations that are still developing that need more access to reliable, affordable energy.”

REGINA DAVIS, ExxonMobil refinery manager, on energy trends that will impact Louisiana through 2050

“More and more we are going to work with the idea of saying it’s not just about a paycheck; it’s about a purpose. We are fundamentally changing the way people live on a day-to-day basis. It’s unlocking opportunity, it’s unlocking lifestyle for billions of people across the globe. And that is something that I think is truly inspirational.”

LEE STOCKWELL, general manager of U.S. carbon capture and storage, Shell, on attracting young talent to the energy industry

Top 15 Industrial Projects

HERE’S A GLIMPSE of the top 15 industrial projects in the Capital Region announced or underway. The bulk of these initiatives are at the forefront of a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, driving economic growth and job creation across the region. From Clean Hydrogen Works’ clean ammonia project to Element 25’s EV battery materials manufacturing, each project represents a significant investment in innovation and/or sustainability.

Clean Hydrogen Works

The $7.5 billion world-scale Ascension Clean Energy project will produce clean ammonia. It’s planned for a 1,700-acre site in Donaldsonville. The project’s shareholders are ExxonMobil, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and Hafnia. A final investment decision is expected in 2025 or 2026.

CF Industries + Mitsui & Co. blue ammonia plant

This $2 billion project in Geismar will establish a world-scale low-carbon ammonia production facility in Ascension Parish.

Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation MMA manufacturing facility

Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation’s proposed $1.9 billion MMA manufacturing facility will create a petrochemical manufacturing complex in Geismar. MMA, or methyl methacrylate, is an organic chemical made from ethylene and natural gas, which is used to manufacture pesticides, industrial solvents, surface coatings, and polyesters. Designed to produce up to 385,000 tons of MMA per year, the Geismar plant would be the largest of its kind in the world.

Air Products blue hydrogen project

Work has begun on this $7 billion complex designed to produce low-carbon hydrogen to power mobility and industrial markets in the Gulf Coast region and beyond. The facility will capture and sequester 95% of its carbon dioxide emissions, permanently sequestering the CO2 in ideal geological pore space in Louisiana.

Shintech

In West Baton Rouge, Shintech is continuing with its steady expansions in PVC production lines. The present $1.3 billion expansion will be completed soon. Shintech has two smaller projects in progress: a $50 million project focused on logistics, and a $35.5 million project for additional brine capacity.

BASF MDI plant

BASF is nearing completion of a $780 million MDI plant in Ascension Parish. Another group of small expansions will soon follow.

Element 25 Ltd.

Australian mining company Element 25 Ltd. is making progress on its plans for a $480 million high-purity manganese sulfate monohydrate refinery in Burnside. The 35-acre site is adjacent to Veolia’s existing sulfuric acid production and regeneration facility.

Shell Catalysts and Technologies’ $121.7 million expansion of its catalyst plant in Port Allen is halfway completed.

Kindle Energy power plant

In Iberville Parish, Kindle Energy is constructing a $740 million advanced class, combined-cycle power plant that will use hydrogen for 50% of its fuel. It is scheduled for startup in 2025.

Honeywell has a $91.4 million expansion underway in Baton Rouge.

FROST-BARBER

DESIGNING SPACES THAT BALANCE PRIVACY AND ENGAGEMENT

As companies navigate the hybrid landscape, one of the biggest challenges they face is managing distractions and maximizing employee engagement. Frost-Barber specializes in creating built environments that do just that – spaces that not only boost productivity, but also foster a strong sense of culture and community.

The company’s approach begins by deeply understanding the unique needs and challenges of each client and their people, whether they operate in the education, corporate, healthcare, creative or other sectors.

“Our team’s breadth of experience comes into play, asking the right questions and seeking to understand what each client is solving for,” says Chris Laderer, Frost-Barber president/CEO. “It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather creating a tailored environment that addresses each client’s specific pain points.”

A key part of the equation is balancing the need for privacy and focus with the desire for collaboration and connection. Too much of either can be detrimental – too many private spaces can lead to cultural erosion and isolation, while too much open collaboration creates noise and disruption.

The Frost-Barber team works closely with clients to find the right equilibrium, using strategic furniture placement, acoustic design and zoning based on work modes to enable both individual and group work.

“Distractions are probably the biggest enemy of productivity, learning, and development

right now,” Laderer says. “We as humans can only process so much. The built environment has to help people manage that, creating spaces that allow them to be hyper-focused when needed, but also easily transition into collaborative modes.”

Beyond that, the office must also provide experiences that are simply better than what employees can access when working remotely. This might mean thoughtfully designed social spaces or technology-enabled meeting rooms that facilitate seamless hybrid collaboration.

“It’s never about maximizing productivity at the expense of employee wellbeing,” Laderer says. “We’re looking to create environments where people can thrive – where they leave feeling just as energized and fulfilled as when they arrived.”

By addressing the unique challenges of each worker and workplace, Frost-Barber is helping organizations re-engage with their employees and employees better engage with their space. Through thoughtful, human-centric design, the Frost-Barber team is enabling the kinds of spaces that employees are eager to work in, fostering the culture and collaboration that drive business success.

Frost-Barber is a Steelcase Premier Partner and a leading provider of innovative workplace solutions in Louisiana, offering a range of products and services, including furniture, design consultation, project management and installation.

ADAPTABLE PRIVACY IDEAS THAT ACCOMMODATE VARIOUS WORK STYLES, ENHANCE CONCENTRATION AND SUPPORT OVERALL WELL-BEING:

• PHONE BOOTHS AND SOUNDPROOF PODS: Compact, drop into place enclosed areas that are ideal for phone calls, virtual meetings and confidential conversations. Soundproof pods allow employees to step away from the open floor without needing a dedicated private office.

• FOCUS ROOMS: Small, isolated spaces designed for deep, uninterrupted work. Equipped with ergonomic furniture and soundproofing, they minimize distractions and help individuals concentrate on more demanding tasks.

• PRIVACY SCREENS AND PARTITIONS: Movable screens or modular partitions create semi-private areas in open offices. They provide both visual and acoustic separation without requiring a fully enclosed room, making them a flexible option for dynamic office layouts.

• DIGITAL PRIVACY SOLUTIONS: Digital privacy tools are crucial in shared environments. These include sound-masking systems, privacy cloaking for glass and designated "do-not-disturb" zones.

• ADAPTABLE ARCHITECTURE: Simple to reconfigure or relocate, these flexible architectural elements allow spaces to transform—from small enclaves to meeting rooms or from floor to floor—all while using the same parts kits.
