It will be in Ascension parish. Good for the state and country.

Near outlet mall between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Already a booming area

Looks like its going to be a steel mill to support car manufacturing plants in Alabama and Georgia. Mill will not likely be open until 2030.

I'm sure your usual Rise St. James types will protest it. Oh well.

Being a native of the river parishes, I’m glad for them. Good jobs. But I’m glad I don’t live there anymore. It’s good not to be near major river. I appreciated the opportunities I had being a Shell Oil brat but that whole region is paying a price for it.

Refineries, petrochem plants and many other large plants like to be close to major navigable waterways?

Stay tuned for more breaking news at 10!

I agree with not wanting to be within all that area, but it's just the way it is.

It is a great transportation hub. Water, rail, interstates running east and west plus north.

Used to have Bayou Steel mill in Montz.

Every big project always has a NIMBY group that comes with it. For example, I’m sure the fact that there will be thousands gallons of gas in the tanks at Buc-ee’s will influence property insurance rates nearby to some degree.

The Mississippi will always be a major draw, but comes with a price. That is, until nature reroutes the river.
