The Kentwood Community Development Committee (KCDC) is a diverse group that represents every organization and interest in Kentwood. This group worked with Entergy’s Community Development Department to become classified as a “Team City.” This group strives to address quality of life issues in our town.

Business Opportunities

Kentwood’s location on Illinois Central Gulf rail line and I-55; its proximity to I-10, 1-12, the food processing and distribution centers in and near Hammond, La., and the deep water ports on the Mississippi; its abundant land, and low cost of operations; make it an excellent choice for a business location. The high quality of its water is evident by the large number of bottled water companies that call Kentwood home. These include Kentwood Spring Water, maker of 10-K sports drink, a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Suntori.
