If this thing brings in 600 - 700 jobs there could be sales tax revenue, maybe employees move into the parish and buy homes, etc.
The SOS talking point is that those jobs aren’t going to go to St Bernard residents

Sorry if you are a member, but I have little to no trust in anything SOS is saying.
There's no reason most of those jobs would not go to those residents, unless they didn't apply for it.
And jobs may go to residents of other places who decide to move closer to work.

St Bernard has a census population of 44K, down from a peak in the 67K+ range before Katrina.
I have a feeling there aren’t a lot of workers to pick from in there given that a huge amount of the pre-Katrina residents have dispersed across the US and I don’t know the composition of who lives there now.
