Some information is in the link:

LED began discussing the corporate headquarters project with the company in May 2015. To secure the project, the State of Louisiana offered Brown & Root a competitive incentive package that includes a performance-based $1.8 million performance-based grant to reimburse relocation costs and to provide lease support for the corporate headquarters. The company also will receive the comprehensive solutions of LED FastStart®, ranked the nation’s No. 1 state workforce development program. In addition, Brown & Root is expected to utilize the state’s Quality Jobs Program.

So we are paying them a few million to move 50 executives here, from Houston.

I would quit if I had to leave Houston for BR.

Where they'll nearly pump 10 million/year into the economy; increasing tax revenues.
This also doesn't include the creation of 500~ industrial jobs in Louisiana

I hate Jindal, but the ROI on this will be very solid for Louisiana.
