John Nugent
Moving is exciting but it’s also overwhelming. My wife and I recently moved and we had to make a lot of smart choices quickly. We were spending money too fast and had a long list of calls to make. There was no built-in network, and often, the first name we were referred, or recognized, got the job.
I’m John Nugent, publisher of BeLocal Acadiana. I created this guide to make that process easier for people like us. BeLocal helps new movers feel at home faster, with trusted local businesses, helpful recommendations, and real ways to plug into the community.
At the same time, local businesses are looking for more than visibility. They're looking for good customers and repeat business. They want the chance to serve and to be found by people who are actively searching for what they offer.
BeLocal bridges that gap. We build real relationships between new residents and the businesses that make Acadiana thrive.
