Additionally, responses indicate that La <br />Porte is perceived to have an even range of businesses in the community: from <br />small/local companies to regional, national and international. <br /> <br />Respondents unanimously stated that La Porte is a business friendly community with a <br />moderately skilled workforce with an average income and high school graduation rate. <br /> <br />Respondents indicated that they were familiar with college presence around La Porte only <br />by a slim margin.
