Hit hard in oil spill and moratorium, Houma is optimistic about the future
That Houma has been hard-hit is not surprising: Last year, nine of the 10 largest taxpayers in the parish were tied to the oil and natural gas industry, according to the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce. And seafood is a key driver of the economy in Terrebonne Parish, which backs up to one of the richest fisheries in the world.
"The harvest was impacted significantly, which impacted the processing significantly," Mike Voisin, owner of Motivatit Seafoods, a Houma oyster-processing company.
And the effect is being felt well beyond those pillars of the Houma economy. In a recent University of New Hampshire poll of 1,017 residents of Plaquemines and Terrebonne parishes, nearly three in four respondents said their families experienced either minor or major negative economic effects as a result of the spill.
It affected people like Nail, who estimated residential home sales fell 20 percent between last April and December. "It was not right away, when the oil spill happened. Everybody was in a shock, but the reaction, and the after-effect, started happening, I would say, almost two, three, four months after."
