Citing New Orleans crime, Harvey Gulf moving headquarters to Jefferson Parish

New Orleans-based offshore transportation company Harvey Gulf International Marine is moving its headquarters from the Central Business District to Metairie, shifting 100 jobs to Jefferson Parish in a move that owner Shane Guidry says was spurred by employee safety concerns.
The company, which is currently located in the Hancock Whitney Center on Poydras Street, will demolish the Texas Motel on Airline Drive near Severn Avenue and build a $5 million facility in its place.

The move by Harvey Gulf, which has been in its current location since 2010, is the latest in a long line of shifts in the offshore oil and gas industry from downtown New Orleans, which could once boast of a cadre of oil majors and their suppliers with regional headquarters in the city.
Over the past two decades, Houston has pulled in many of those jobs and companies. ExxonMobil shifted its offshore operations to Houston in 2003. More recently, in 2018, offshore vessel operator Tidewater moved the remainder of its New Orleans employees to Houston after emerging from bankruptcy protection. That same year, the building at 701 Poydras where Harvey Gulf is located, which was long known as One Shell Square after its biggest tenant, Shell Oil, was renamed for Hancock Whitney Bank.
Guidry said he has had considered moving the company's headquarters to Jefferson Parish since an employee was attacked at the corner of Carondelet Street and Poydras Street in 2021 by men who tried to drag her into their car.

I don't like the Guidry's, I think that they are a family of thugs that have a lot of money, but I can agree with Shane on this.

I mean, that's not a great area they're moving to either.

I love how they are moving to what maybe 30 years ago was considered possibly the skuzziest area of the entire N.O. metro.

It's way past time to give that city back to the river.

Does his inside knowledge of the police force come from the time his son was arrested?

This is the funniest part of the story for me. Well - that and just moving from one shithole to another.
Now we just wait for the next headline: 'Harvey Gulf Employee Attacked On Airline Drive.'
fricking clown arse city.

Another 20 years of negative growth and loss of population New Orleans will possibly be a manageable size for the likes of leadership that is voted in by the ignorant voter base.

Wouldn't the time to protect his people have been 2 years ago? Or did he start back then, and it took him 2 years to find Severn & Airline?
