Upgraded Sports Complex
New state-of-the-art facility now a highly sought after destination site for travel team sports tournaments
Advancing Louisiana’s Infrastructure
Louisiana’s communities, abundant in beauty and culture, now benefit from modern best-in-class infrastructure through SP’s monthly utility-like service.
Public and private entities including Louisiana parishes, municipalities, towns, villages, schools, universities, port and others have formed trusted partnerships with Sustainability Partners (SP) to advance their essential infrastructure.
Through Infrastructure as a Service®, SP converts infrastructure into a monthly service that is reliable, safe, and efficient in a manner that protects the institutions, assets, and taxpayers.
SP is a Public Benefit Company offering a usage-based model that requires zero upfront capital. We assume ownership responsibilities of essential infrastructure without interfering with use.
We can bridge a funding gap, providing a required match to state or federal funds, or pay 100% for the design, engineering, materials, installation, monitoring, maintenance, and long-term upgrades.
SP’s Clean & Wastewater Solutions
Comprehensive Advanced Metering Infrastructure
Lake Charles, Louisiana
The citywide water metering infrastructure had been in operation for 30+ years and was long overdue for replacement. The vulnerabilities of the system became painfully evident after Hurricane Laura made landfall in August 2020 and devastated the area, prompting the City to seek options to replace over 35,000 commercial and residential meters of varying sizes and types. Although the City qualified for federal funding it was not enough to cover the significant cost of a modern and efficient solution.
Combining federal funding with SP’s service, Lake Charles has significantly decreased operational expenses and increased monthly water revenue with this sustainable turnkey solution.
SP’s Turf & Lighting Solutions
Scott, Louisiana
Project Scope: The City of Scott had a strategic growth plan to improve the community with sustainable infrastructure that would also increase tourism plus offer a modern and beautiful venue for youth sports, tournaments, and community events. The City envisioned a new state-of-the-art sports complex with nine baseball, softball fields, and T-ball fields, including foundation, turf, LED lighting, fixtures, a volleyball court, and associated infrastructure.
Impact: In just seven months after signing with SP, the City was delighted to host its first 60+ team baseball tournament bringing thousands of visitors to enjoy the beautiful city of Scott, Louisiana. The City has realized incredible increase in sales revenue as new visitors continue to frequent the City’s restaurants, hotels, and venues. The ribbon cutting event was a fantastic celebration and just the start to many wonderful new initiatives for the community. Only months after the ribbon cutting, the City began the process to acquire additional nearby land to increase parking capacity and add more facilities.
BREC
Recreation & Park Commission for the Parish of East Baton Rouge ⎯ Nine Major Parks
BREC earned the prestigious American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA) Gold Medal demonstrating excellence in long-range planning, resource management, environmental stewardship, and more.
BREC partnered with SP to facilitate the funding, installation, and maintenance of its beautiful new athletic fields, lighting and other assets. All this was accomplished without debt or new taxes, and reduced operating expenses while generating significant economic stimulus as a sought-after destination for residents and sports tournaments.
Crowley, Louisiana
Project Scope: 9 fields – infield and outfield – including historical Miller Stadium & more
Impact: The City experienced immediate cash flow generation which significantly improved the entire local economy due to increased tourism and the growing number of facility events scheduled. Initially, the recreation director believed that, due to budget constraints, the City would only be able to upgrade the infields with turf.
By partnering with Sustainability Partners and utilizing SP’s Infrastructure as a Service® model the City now enjoys nine beautiful, fully renovated, turf fields with both infields and outfields completed. Congratulations, Crowley!
Benefits & Impact
Eunice, Louisiana
Project Scope: 8 infields + LED lighting accomplishing the City’s goals of environmental and social improvements with decreased chemical usage and sustainable infrastructure for long-term community use.
Impact: A fantastic project accomplishing the City’s goals of environmental and social improvements with decreased chemical usage and sustainable infrastructure for long-term community use. The City pays a monthly usage rate based on sunny days (i.e., the number of days with rainfall below 0.5” multiplied by the 8 fields determined using statistical analysis on over 30 years of historical weather data from NOAA). SP Infrastructure Specialists coordinate regular field grooming as well as regular maintenance.
