Shreveport-based EDgear is one of them. Last month, the company announced its plans to expand its operations at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For more than 30 years, EDgear has been developing student information management and communications software solutions for all stakeholders in public and private education. The company has entered into a lease agreement with the airport and, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nola.com\/business\/baton-rouge\/index.ssf\/2014\/10\/shreveport-based_edgear_to_ope.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>The Times Picayune<\/em><\/a>, it will pay more than $27,000 each year. It also has the option to&nbsp; renew the lease for four additional one-year terms after the initial year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The airport will construct an office building for EDgear, on the north side of the airfield. Until that building is complete, the software developer will house its operations where the airport\u2019s police department is currently located.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Baton Rouge Area Chamber worked together with the mayor\u2019s office, Louisiana Economic Development, and administration at the metro airport to bring EDgear to Baton Rouge. The company said it will create 33 new direct jobs in the area by 2015. That number will climb to 85 in 2018. In addition to the direct jobs, the project will also create an estimated 125 new indirect jobs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to the Baton Rouge Area Chamber, the new jobs will offer an average annual salary of $64,000, plus benefits. EDgear will also invest $1.77 million to buy new equipment and to renovate the terminal annex suite.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cEDgear\u2019s decision to locate in Baton Rouge demonstrates the region\u2019s attractiveness as a place to do business,\u201d Mayor-President Melvin \u201cKip\u201d Holden said in a statement for the press.&nbsp; \u201cThis company\u2019s expansion will continue the momentum we\u2019ve experienced in the software sector over the last 24 months.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More and more software development companies are coming to the Baton Rouge area.
