Much of Pensacola's downtown success stemmed from the efforts of one wealthy benefactor. Does Lafayette need its own?

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Good Monday morning, Acadiana. Let's get down to business real quick.

Businessman and philanthropist Quint Studer had a vision for downtown Pensacola, one that would make it attractive to young people and entrepreneurs.

You can read the story here.  

Have a great day and see you back here Tuesday morning.
