The Zachary Taylor Megasite is a 2,900-acre industrial site in Tangipahoa Parish that has been officially certified as “job ready” for any major industry or manufacturer that needs a large site, strong transportation infrastructure, and a solid labor supply.  The certification of the site indicates that it has undergone a rigorous examination by a qualified independent engineering consultant, and has been deemed ready to be developed quickly.  The certification includes assessment of the site’s environment, wetlands, soils, labor and utility supplies, and proximity to a transportation infrastructure.

The Zachary Taylor site is located at the intersection of Interstate 55 and Louisiana Highway 10 (the Zachary Taylor Parkway).  The 4.5 square mile site, which is one of only 25 certified megasites in the United States and one of the largest, is flat land that includes mostly undeveloped wooded property, and would be ideal for uses such as automobile manufacturing or similar large industrial projects.
