In a decision that will no doubt impact Union Parish, CenturyLink announced last Wednesday the expansion of their Louisiana headquarters, adding 350 jobs to the S&P 500 company over the next four years.
For a company with roots spread throughout north Louisiana, the decision to not only stay in Louisiana, but increase its workforce, signifies a commitment to the future of this region, which constitutes a significant segment of CenturyLink’s employee base.
“Our roots are in northeastern Louisiana and we’ve found everything we need to operate our headquarters here,” Annmarie Sartor, a spokeswoman for CenturyLink, said. “We have knowledgeable and dedicated employees, three great universities nearby, the I-20 corridor, an airport with service to major hub cities, arts, entertainment and outdoor opportunities and top rated health care facilities – just to name a few.”
