Assumption Parish is located just west of the Mississippi River and the industrial corridor that stretches along the river between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.  Assumption Parish is conveniently situated near the industrial activity of both the Mississippi River region and the Gulf of Mexico coastal area surrounding Morgan City to the south. Although agriculture dominates the local economic base, related industrial activity, including sugar processing and refining, also impact the local economy. A sizeable labor force, abundant raw materials, location near a corridor of significant industrial activity, and available land for commercial and industrial development make Assumption Parish an ideal prospect for continued growth
