The Baton Rouge Business Report is expanding with a weekly newsletter for nearby Ascension Parish with the Ascension Business Report.

Executive editor Penny Font writes, “Ascension Business Report is built for the people making decisions in this parish—owners, executives, professionals and public leaders who want reporting that’s clear, useful and rooted in what’s actually happening on the ground. Our goal isn’t to flood your inbox or chase headlines for the sake of noise. It’s to deliver reporting that helps you quickly see what’s changing, why it matters and how it may affect your business.

“Each week, you’ll find original reporting on major development projects, industry trends and workforce issues, along with profiles of the leaders and companies driving Ascension forward. We’ll cover local government and economic development with the same rigor we bring to regional business journalism—while keeping the focus squarely on Ascension Parish. You’ll also find timely insight into events, initiatives and opportunities to connect across the parish’s business community—because relationships still matter, especially in a place growing this quickly.”

Will help us in dedicating a salesperson to that territory and building new relationships and hopefully new subscribers with this new coverage.”
