re: Buccees in Ruston

Good for that area, the placement makes perfect sense off 20 between the Terrell and the Leeds, AL location. The economic impact of Buc-ee's on an area is well into the 9 figures annually, not to mention the area around them quickly being bought up for expansion for additional shopping and dining options. It's good to see Ronny continuing his positive impact on the area since he took office, between that and the expansion and development on LTU's campus, Ruston is quickly becoming an economic driver much needed with some of the flight and loss of jobs sustained in SBC and Monroe over the past decade.

It's just a gas station, but the economic impact that it gives is much needed in that part of the state with much of the economic news in that area from pulp wood prices to "Lumen" consolidations being negative recently.
