B.R. makes huge jump on Best Performing Cities Index

B.R. makes huge jump on Best Performing Cities Index
Baton Rouge climbed 65 spots in a list of where jobs are being created and sustained. The city was 67th in the Best Performing Cities Index, up from No. 132 in 2005. Officials with the Milken Institute, the economic think tank that conducts the study along with Greenstreet Real Estate Partners, say Baton Rouge saw the drastic move as a result of the population shifts caused by Hurricane Katrina. Stephen Moret, president and CEO of the Baton Rouge Area Chamber, says the jump doesn’t surprise him. “We’ve just had two of our best years on record, and it looks like 2007 will be another top year,” he says. “We’re on a great growth trend right now.” The city also did well because of the high-tech sector. Baton Rouge ranked 31st among 200 cities for high-tech output growth from 2005-06. “A substantial number of our employers are becoming more and more technology intensive,” Moret says. Lafayette made the biggest jump in the index, from No. 143 to No. 24, because of Katrina-related moves and the surging oil and gas industry. Other Louisiana cities fell. Shreveport dropped from No. 111 to No. 131, and New Orleans dropped from No. 163 to No. 186. To read the complete rankings, click here. –Timothy Boone Baton Rouge Business Report
