What is LA Planning District 4?

LA Planning District 4 is an economic development district serving Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, and Vermilion parishes. Economic planning districts were created in the 1970s when the Louisiana legislature determined that there were problems of growth and development in urban and rural areas of the state that transcended the boundary lines of local government.

Planning districts allow economic development organizations such as Acadiana Planning Commission to initiate multi-parish planning activities to reach a broader area, pool resources, and approach common problems in a coordinated manner.
