Textron to expand N.O. presence

NEW ORLEANS - Textron Marine & Land Systems, a Providence, R.I.-based
manufacturer of military vehicles, is relocating administrative and executive offices from 19401 Chef Menteur Highway to 13801 Old Gentilly Road.

The company needs more space to expand, said J. O. Smith, vice president of operations. The Chef Menteur site is not closing, Smith said.
Roughly 150 people will move into the Old Gentilly Road building known as the
Enterprise Center part of New Orleans Regional Business Park. Textron is retrofitting the space, which needs furnishings, carpeting, ceiling tiles and other enhancements.

The company manufactures armored security vehicles for the Army and
amphibious hovercraft for the Navy. Textron employs about 1,200 people in the New Orleans and Slidell area.
