Growth in Broussard is no longer a quiet trend, it is a visible, strategic movement shaping the future of the region. On Thursday, February 26, 2026, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM, business leaders, developers, investors, and community stakeholders will gather at The Madison Banquet & Reception for an important luncheon titled:
This event is designed to provide clarity, insight, and direction as Broussard continues to position itself as one of the most dynamic and opportunity-rich cities in Acadiana.
Broussard has experienced steady and intentional growth over the past several years. Strategic infrastructure improvements, pro-business leadership, and strong regional partnerships have created a foundation for long-term economic expansion. This luncheon offers attendees a direct look at how that growth is being managed, where development is headed, and how businesses and investors can be part of the next phase.
Guests will enjoy lunch and networking opportunities before hearing from key leaders who are shaping the economic future of both Broussard and the greater Lafayette Parish region.
The program will begin with a welcome address from Helen Thibeaux, Economic Growth Committee Chair, who will set the tone for the afternoon and highlight the collaborative efforts driving development in the city.
Attendees will then hear from Mandi Mitchell, President and CEO of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority, who will provide a regional overview of economic activity across Lafayette Parish. Her presentation will address broader development trends, workforce initiatives, and the strategic advantages that make this region attractive to businesses and investors.
Mayor Ray Bourque of Broussard will conclude the program with a focused update on development within Broussard itself. From infrastructure improvements to commercial and residential growth, attendees will gain insight into how the city is planning for sustainable expansion while maintaining its strong community identity.
Events like this serve as more than informational gatherings. They bring together decision-makers, entrepreneurs, developers, and civic leaders in one room to build relationships and align on a shared vision for growth. For business owners considering expansion, developers exploring opportunities, or professionals who simply want to stay informed, this luncheon provides valuable context and direct access to leadership.
Broussard is not only experiencing growth, but it is also actively shaping it.
