The major industry in the Louisa area relates to the coal industry,
although not much coal is actually mined in the county now. Louisa is a
point where coal hauling trucks and trains travel through as they carry coal
mined in the counties south of Lawrence County to the coal loading river docks
north.
- American Electric Power Company has a large plant about 11 miles north of
the city and that is basically all the heavy industry located in the
immediate Louisa area.
There are a variety of service businesses in Louisa and with the development
of the Yatesville Lake, the community is also gearing towards the tourism
industry as a viable part of our economy.
The Louisa area is served by a state-of-the-art cable TV company, Lycom
Communications, that offers
a wide variety of cable TV packages to choose from. The company is now
offering High Speed Internet Service.
