Jefferson Parish Pulse: Leaaf Environmental

This week on the Jefferson Parish Pulse podcast powered by JEDCO, we feature an interview with Jesse Hoppes, co-owner of Leaaf Environmental, a recognized leader in soil, groundwater, and air quality investigations. Leaaf has a long history of minimizing environmental risk for its clients across the Gulf Coast.  With 28 employees (and growing), the Gretna-based business offers asbestos, lead and mold consulting services; environmental site assessments (including Brownfield assessments); environemntal engineering and compliance services; underground storage tanks and remediation; and more. Leaaf is known for its strong company culture and thorough work. They are a tremendous asset to Jefferson Parish and beyond!

Jesse had lots to say about Leaaf’s work in the Brownfield arena as well as why their work is so important to the economy, how Leaaf’s stellar company culture helps attract and retain quality employees, and what makes Gretna a great place to do business.
