The Office of Louisiana Lt. Governor Mitch Landrieu and Encore Louisiana
has named Sci-Port: Louisiana's Science Center one of the Top 50 places and programs that
make life in Louisiana unique and fulfilling for people ages 50 and above.
From
October 1 through November 15, over 2,700 votes were cast by people in the
50-plus age group and Sci-Port is one of six state locations to make the
category Best Places to Visit with the
Kids/Grandkids.
"The
Top 50 for 50+ celebrates the best that Louisiana has to offer," said Lt. Governor Landrieu, who
oversees Encore Louisiana. "As our lives get longer and
healthier, our years at 50 and beyond truly can be our best. Individuals age 50
and above also bring great economic benefit to Louisiana."
The
goal of Encore Louisiana is to entice people 50
and above to move to or stay in Louisiana. More information is available at www.EncoreLouisiana.com and in the
new publication Encore Louisiana-The Official Guide to Louisiana Living for
Boomers & Beyond.
