More job opportunities are coming to Jeff Davis Parish. Greenberry Industrial, a Washington-based fabricator and contractor, announced that it is in the process of converting a shipyard into a manufacturing plant in Jennings.
The previous company, Gulf Islands, vacated the shipyard over a year ago. Seizing what president and CEO of Jeff Davis Economic Development Creed Romano calls the perfect opportunity, he and other parish officials worked to secure a tenant to bring back jobs and commerce.
“It broke my heart seeing something that big with that much potential, I just knew I needed to find a way to get that back into commerce,” Romano said.
Romano explains that the site is a good fit for the company, as the current facility provides the proper bones, meaning only minor improvements need to be made for a speedy process.
