The Board of Commissioners of the Greater Lafourche Port Commission (“Port Fourchon”) invites all interested parties to submit proposals to lease or acquire other rights in property located at the South Lafourche Airport and/or the adjacent South Lafourche Industrial Park in Galliano, Louisiana. The Board’s intent is to place the property in productive use in accordance with its Master Plan recommendations, in a manner which generates commensurate revenue for the Commission, provides optimum utilization, and generates substantial community benefits.

Proposals will be accepted for sections of the available property on the plat which can be found by clicking here. The areas outlined in red are currently either under lease, option to lease, or pending lease and are thus unavailable.

Airport: The areas outlined in orange are available for lease on the South Lafourche Airport. Use of these properties is intended to be primarily aviation use.

Industrial Park: The areas outlined in blue and green are available for lease on the South Lafourche Industrial Park.

*The areas in green are slated for general development. These properties are open to both aviation and non-aviation use.

*The areas in blue are slated for industrial housing development. GLPC is currently accepting proposals from parties interested in developing industrial housing units.

It should be noted that some of the marked boundaries on the attached plat are not to scale.

The proposer should state the size/quantity of land sought through their proposal and may include a dimensioned sketch of the requested property. Please indicate the overall acres or square feet desired.
