"It'll be bigger than Wal-Mart. I can say that." The population boom in Livingston Parish has Parish President Mike Grimmer excited about future developments. He says they may even attract a Disney theme park. "In 1954, Walt Disney actually looked in Louisiana in Livingston Parish. Things just weren't happening then, so they didn't go there. What a change it would be today huh?" he says. "We're taking preparations for sites with a study." Grimmer says the Livingston Economic Development Council paid $100,000 for a Disney site study. He's hoping to hear from Disney within the next couple months.

Livingston Parish is the fastest growing parish in the state, with nearly 115,000 residents, and it's going through some major development changes.
