SWLA/Lake Charles CVB update

We are continuing to assess damages our local hospitality partners sustained during Hurricane Ike. The Lake Charles/Southwest Louisiana Convention & Visitors Bureau building located at 1205 North Lakeshore Dr. in Lake Charles received minor water damage from Hurricane Ike.
