CGI takes a victory lap

BY ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

It was 10 years ago earlier this year that former Gov. Bobby Jindal and other high-ranking folks announced what was considered then as a big catch for Lafayette: CGI and its goal of creating tech jobs in the region.

Have a great day and thanks for reading.
