The rebuilding process following Hurricane Ida could create business opportunities for commercial builders while exacerbating preexisting challenges involving workers and building materials, says Ken Naquin, CEO of the Louisiana Association of General Contractors.
The aftermath of Hurricane Ida has been a boon for some companies in the trucking sector and a hindrance for others, says Renee Amar, executive director of the Louisiana Motor Transport Association.
Business owners affected by Hurricane Ida right now primarily are concerned with “primal needs” such as water, ice, fuel and electricity, says Stephen Waguespack, president and CEO of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry.
