Churchill Technology and Business Park, a 480-acre master-planned, mixed-use campus located within the West Bank of Jefferson Parish (Greater New Orleans area), is part of a strategy by Jefferson Parish to spur development in one of the last remaining undeveloped tracts within the region’s hurricane protection levee system. The park is already home to Jefferson Economic Development Commission, a Conference Center, the Patrick F Taylor Science and Technology Academy, a top performing magnet school emphasizing STEAM curriculum and Delgado Community College River City Campus and Advanced Manufacturing Center. Located within eligible area for New Markets Tax Credits and USDA Rural Development grant and loan programs, Churchill Park offers plenty of space and flexibility to meet the vision of growing companies.
Situated within the largest intermodal transportation system in the South, Churchill Park is easily accessible by air, river, rail and road.

Churchill Farms is a 3,000 acre tract of land that first came to light in the 1920’s and 1930’s as reclaimed swampland and offered a prime place for farming. This land has played various roles throughout New Orleans history, and has been identified as a desirable place for economic development on the West Bank, as a part of the Fairfield Planning Area.
EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
An approximately 480-acre portion of Churchill Farms has been slated to become a commercial development known as Churchill Technology and Business Park, and 40 acres of land along Nicolle Boulevard was donated to the Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission (JEDCO) to begin this work. JEDCO exercised its option to purchase an additional 50 acres two years later, and an additional ~17 acres has since been donated. Today, approximately 60 acres of this land has been graded and raised and has seen some institutional development, including:
