Harvey Gulf to remain in NOLA

After announcing last year that he was moving his offshore transportation company from the Central Business District to Metairie, Shane Guidry said this week that Harvey Gulf Marine International will remain in the heart of downtown New Orleans. Guidry attributed the about-face to the recent election of Jeff Landry as governor and Landry's plans for dealing with crime in New Orleans. Guidry is a close confidant, advisor, and megadonor to the incoming Republican governor, as well as a co-chair of Landry's transition team.

New name for MUW decided; update Jan. 8

A new name for the Mississippi University for Women has reportedly been chosen, and the necessary legislation may soon be filed with the Mississippi Legislature. 

The Columbus Dispatch reports that the new name was selected by a committee in late December but will not be made public until the name legislation is filed. The current session of the Mississippi Legislature started on Jan. 2. 

MUW President Nora Miller is expected to report an update on the university’s naming process on Monday, Jan.8, according to WTVA News in Tupelo. (Magnolia State Live 01/05/24)
