The retirement relocation industry is a billion-dollar industry that has remained virtually untapped by our state.
Many retirees have a considerable amount of disposable income.
For years, states like Florida and Arizona have benefit ed from this group. I believe this task force can effectively move us forward in this arena. Lt. Gov. Blanco's office last year in the Toledo Bend and Acadiana regions. The task force was given a tour of England Oaks senior living community, which is the nation's first senior living community to be created through the reuse of former military housing. The facility is located at the former England Air Force Base, which was closed by the U.S. Department of Defense in December 1992.
