Louisiana has been awarded a Silver Shovel award from Area Development magazine for its efforts in creating jobs and attracting investments. Area Development singled out the sale of the old Pilgrim’s Pride chicken processing plant to Foster Farms as one of the major projects that led to the honor, along with the SNF polymer plant in Iberville Parish and the ConAgra sweet potato plant near Delhi. Other states awarded a Silver Shovel in the same category, populations of less than 5 million, are South Carolina, Alabama and Kansas. Area Development is aimed at executives in the site selection and facility planning business.
