re: What are examples of companies that almost chose to build in Louisiana but didn't?

was trying to sell the old Mississippi River ethanol plant on the south side of now closed Phillips in Belle Chasse. Everyone loved the location and ready to buy to use for other processes until they heard Plaquemines Parish. I doubt any elected official ever from there is anything but dirty as possible

My cousin works in commercial real estate here in Lafayette and gets told the same thing everytime he sells something in St. Landry or Evangeline parish. They both have a bad reputation in the business/economic development community for their politicians being unintelligent and corrupt. They're well known for pulling over trucks of companies that don't contribute to their campaigns and writing BS tickets.
