Google has named Mandeville the most wired business community in Louisiana for the second year in a row, NOLA.com reports.
Google’s annual “eCity Award” recognizes the strongest online business communities around the country. A number of factors determined the winning cities, including the likelihood of small businesses to have a website.
In a news release, a Google representative called Mandeville “a prime example of how innovation and growth in e-commerce can successfully contribute to bolstering economic progress.”
Other cities receiving awards in 2014 included Madison, Mississippi; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Sarasota, Florida.
