Lafayette Power Poll voters on attracting young talent: 'Keep investing in ourselves'

by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

Happy Friday, Acadiana business news readers. Here some morning headlines for the day.

The Lafayette Power Poll gives me some interesting takes on whatever is in the realm of public discussion. This month I asked questions regarding One Acadiana's efforts at attracting and retaining young talent in the Lafayette area and efforts at building a vibrant community. 

As a side note, the poll happened to go out the week a batch of U.S. Census data was released. So as respondents were asked how Lafayette is faring, the Census data indicates people are moving Lafayette Parish. It had the third-highest population increase (6,110) in the state between April 1, 2020 and July 1, 2022, behind only Livingston (6,141) and St. Tammany (8,688).

But that comes with a hitch: Lafayette is also an island surrounding by parishes that are bleeding residents. 

You can read the full story here. 

Have a great weekend.
