Livingston Parish President Mike Grimmer announced the awarding of the courthouse energy retrofit contract to Labarre Architects, APAC. After a comprehensive selection process, Labarre Architects, a design firm located in Denham Springs, LA was selected over the other finalists. “We are very excited that Livingston Parish is taking the lead in creating a community focused on energy efficiency, conservation, and sustainable development,” explained Grimmer. He continued, “We hope to set a responsible, regional example of what can be done to preserve resources and save money for residents and businesses of the parish to follow.”

The parish has secured federal grants and funding from the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act to set a new standard for conservation, help its cities and towns achieve the same goal, and establish best practices to become more energy efficient. The 68-year-old Livingston Parish Courthouse is the parish’s biggest energy user and a natural choice to be the first building selected for this project.
