The heart of Acadiana resides in the south Louisiana city of Lafayette. Nestled along the Vermillion, Lafayette is the state’s fourth-largest city and home to some of the most colorful culture, music, food, education, and art anywhere. While founded in the 1820s, Lafayette began to blossom in the 1940s with the discovery of oil. The oil and gas industry plays a significant role in its economy.
Other businesses are thriving in the Lafayette area as well. Petroleum Helicopters International, Ochsner Health, and Amazon all have significant operations in Acadiana.
In 2014 Lafayette was named the Happiest City in America. With so much to see, do, and experience, it’s easy to understand why. From restaurants and festivals to a bustling downtown and nightlife, there is no shortage of attractions. The Zoo of Acadiana, or as it’s more affectionately known, Zoosiana, offers a tranquil visit with your favorite animals. Airboat rides and swamp tours bring you directly to Louisiana’s exotic wildlife and scenery. The Lafayette Science Museum, Longfellow-Evangeline Historic Site, and the Rodrigue Studio feature the history, culture, and creativity of south Louisiana.
Because of its geographical position along the gulf coast, Lafayette is also prone to hurricanes, tropical storms, flooding, and other natural disasters. In 2020, Hurricane Delta ravaged the greater Lafayette area, leaving thousands without power and causing catastrophic property damage. However, due to the terrain in southwest Louisiana, it doesn’t take a named storm to cause problems. Heaving thunderstorms and prolonged rain can cause flash flooding from the Atchafalaya Basin west into and through Lafayette.
With an average annual humidity of nearly 71%, Lafayette is one of the muggiest cities in the nation. This atmospheric variable makes homes, buildings, and other facilities susceptible to mold issues. When you account for the wide array of governmental, educational, healthcare, industrial, and other large facilities in and around Lafayette, different restoration services can maintain and improve the health and safety of any property.
