Back in the "good ole days" there was a thriving industrial sector in da Parish that really doesnt exist anymore... or at least anywhere near the mid to late 20th century levels.

That kinda died when Kaiser shut down. Since that huge job loss... industrial jobs have kind of been on an even line.

The facts are this:

1) If this project was being proposed by the St. Bernard Port, it would have more support

2) If this project was located purely in the Violet Slip area, or even in the industrial zone near Chalmette Refining / the main port area, it would have more support

3) Many, MANY people here do not want to grow. They do not want progress. They don't want more jobs or more residents.
