KENNER, La. — Hurricane Gustav may have prompted evacuations along the Gulf Coast and tested New Orleans’ newly rebuilt levees, but Pellerin Milnor Corp., headquartered in Kenner, has weathered the storm with only minimal interruptions, company spokespeople say. Kenner is located on the west side of New Orleans’ metropolitan area in Jefferson Parish.
“To quote our mayor, Kenner ‘fared very well,’” says Stephanie Russell, advertising manager for Milnor. “I believe the majority of our employees evacuated, so we’re just waiting for our parish officials to give us the go-ahead to re-enter.”
