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.
