 Zachary has historically been viewed as a rural community with a high quality of life. Stable job opportunities have consistently been available for local residents due to our location, only 12 miles north of downtown Baton Rouge, and the presence of major employers such as Georgia Pacific (GP), ExxonMobil, Entergy and Lane Regional Medical Center. Expansions at GP, Lane and numerous local businesses have continued to transform Zachary's rural image. Today, Zachary serves as an employment, retail and healthcare destination for northern capital region.
As Zachary continues to enhance its retail services, the City's best kept secret is its' public schools. From 2003 to 2011, Zachary Schools have ranked #1 in the State of Louisiana. This premier ranking has attracted scores of educated families and contributed to numerous residential developments. Even given current economic conditions, the positive business climate and premier education system has positioned Zachary for continued growth. Recently,
The Zachary Chamber and City Government have joined forces with Louisiana Department of Economic Development and Baton Rouge Area Chamber to take a proactive approach on Economic Development.
 The recent adoption of a Master Plan, Economic Development Strategic Plan and revised uniform development code for Zachary will insure that goals are aligned and growth in the future will be sustainable for our community.
