RNGD to Move Headquarters to Jefferson Parish, Creating 130 Jobs
RNGD, formerly Palmisano Construction, is investing $25 million to relocate its corporate headquarters to Jefferson Parish, consolidating its manufacturing and training operations. This move will create 130 new jobs, retain over 240 current positions, and generate 250 construction jobs at its peak. The company will expand its prefabrication factory in the Labarre Business Park, with construction starting on July 1 and completing by January. Louisiana Economic Development has offered RNGD a $500,000 performance-based award for facility and utility upgrades, pending approval.
“This announcement represents a significant economic investment in Jefferson Parish,” said Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission President & CEO Jerry Bologna. “We are proud to retain RNGD in the region and substantially expand their footprint in Jefferson Parish through competitive incentive offerings at both the state and local levels.”
The decision to move follows a period of consideration, with The Times-Picayune reporting last month that RNGD was evaluating the relocation and expansion plans. RNGD has operated a factory in the Labarre Business Park since 2022, and the new development aims to bolster the company’s capacity and operational efficiency.
The incentives package from Louisiana Economic Development is designed to support the expansion, which is expected to have a significant impact on the local economy. The project underscores Jefferson Parish’s appeal as a business hub, offering competitive advantages and support for growing companies.
RNGD’s move and expansion reflect a strategic investment in the region, enhancing job opportunities and economic growth in Jefferson Parish.
