Friend said its in the works for them buying land south of St Frannie.

Reason : lots of nearby available power from Riverbend nuke plant.

I say BS

I see on line they have 25 locations around the country

I've heard legitimate rumor of a large tech company building in West Fel.

Heard it was battery tech though

I could see a data center but highly doubt they would put an office there unless they’re getting into the meth business.

It's Buckee's not Universal. Buckee's is building their first Amusement Park at the Lacombe exit.

Yeah, doubtful.

Most folks they try to transfer to the BR Metroplex would find a job not in the Third World and not with Meta with extreme quickness.

They're building a data center in Holly Ridge, Louisiana wherever that is.

Hard to really know at this point. They’ve done well with putting misinformation out there.

With River Bend there I can see having more of an upside for development.

If all I’ve heard is true, anyone wanting to retire to West Feliciana missed their chance

I wouldn't be thrilled about having a bitcoin farm as a neighbor. A google search turns up dozens of articles about local communities up in arms over them. Noisy, strain on the power grid, and bring few jobs with them.

Yeah. Remember IBM got tax breaks for good, high paying jobs in downtown Baton Rouge.

It was a call center.

Pretty much anything crappy comes to BR, gets tax breaks, crap jobs and leaves.

NFL Network anyone.
