William Tate, President of LSU, toured The A and L Lawson crawfish and rice farm in Crowley Wednesday and said the tour is really important to all Louisiana communities.
According to Tate, the state legislature will be funding the investment.
The goal of the tour is to learn more about some of the state’s key industries to ensure alignment with LSU’s priorities.
Tate said the agenda prioritizes agriculture, biomedical, energy, defenses, and coastal resilience.
