It is a national leader in new and expanded business development and was recently named one of the twenty best cities in the country to find a job. National Geographic Traveler ranks Alexandria as one of America's top ten "wilderness towns" because of its incredible access to the one of the country's most beautiful and expansive national forests.

Central Louisiana has become known as "The Crossroads," a place where all of Louisiana comes together - from culture to food and music. With a population of over 46,342, Alexandria continues to grow in every sector of our society.  The city of Alexandria is adjacent to the city of Pineville and separated by the Red River.  Alexandria sits on the central corridor of I-49 which makes it a quick access to several major Metro cities.  Alexandria is only 2 hours from Shreveport, LA, 3 1/2 from New Orleans, LA, and 4 1/2 from Dallas and Houston, TX.

 New Orleans is the home of the Saints Pro football team and the Hornets Pro basketball team.
