From what I understand, the previous JohnBel Admin & Bucees couldn’t agree on changes that need to be made to the Tarbutton Rd interchange, so the DOTD just halted the project. It’s a damn shame that previous Admin would’ve been perfectly fine with Bucees & all the jobs that will be created for the Ruston/Grambling community moving to another area. Typical South Louisiana good ole boy politics. Nothing good comes out of Baton Rouge.
Bucees refused their demands on the Baton Rouge project and pulled the plug.
JBE was going to allow them to build anywhere in Louisiana. I assume Bucees knew this and the timing of the original Ruston announcement was probably an extra frick you to that administration who was going to term out before they could stop its development.

This is correct. They decided to skip over Louisiana entirely soon after jbe got elected 8 years ago due to shady politics
I’m hearing that the Lafayette location is still being pursued as well currently
