## Resource

Coastal Machine & Supply is pouring $25.5 million into expanding its Carencro, Louisiana facility—boosting aerospace and defense production, adding 129 direct jobs (plus 58 existing roles), and paving the way for 111 indirect positions, totaling 240 new opportunities in Acadiana. The company, which pivoted from oil and gas to high-precision manufacturing in 2004, is now scaling up with 20,000 sq ft of new space and room for 100,000 more. Construction kicks off this fall, with Phase 1 done by August next year—proof that Louisiana’s businesses are reinventing themselves for tomorrow’s high-growth sectors.
