You have to think at one time Sasol, Cameron LNG, LOTTE, and Indorama were all under construction at the same time.
And all within a few miles of each other as the crow flies.
We've seen a huge amount of investment on the river between Baton Rouge and New Orleans and again in the area around the Houston ship channel and towards Galveston. But in both cases it was over a longer period of time and in a larger area.
What Lake Charles saw has to be $35b worth of construction in a 10 year time span. I can't think of many parts of the country that has had that much private investment all at once in just a 10 or 20 square mile stretch. That's really impressive for a town the size of Houston or Atlanta....but for Lake Charles it's really astounding.
That's when Lake Charles solidified its future as a larger metro area than it is today IMO. Basically those early Jindal years were a real game changer for SW Louisiana.

I wonder if they will benefit from the 5 year Industrial Tax Exemption then re-file for the 5 year extension thus avoiding property taxes for a decade?
