That would be a great place, plenty of land.

An idea I would propose for the East would be a sports complex.

A F1 track (like Austin just built) with an Oval route option for Nascar and Indycar. A dirt track, a drag track.
Two Highschool football stadiums. One highschool baseball stadium.
Practice fields. Hotel. Large batting cage complex. Indoor practice area. Basketball indoor gym, outdoor hoops. Tennis complex, volleyball area. Inside ice skating rink.

Could make it the home of most state tournaments.
Use it for practice fields for visiting bowl teams/superbowl teams.

lure a national level race. Possibly international event.

Have a place for kids to get sports mentorship and camps year round.
Be able to practice for events. Could train olympic teams there. Could get a whole generation of local kids to be interested in new sports.

Would solve high school football scheduling issues. Would allow smaller schools places to play big games.
add an indoor track as well. louisiana could use another one of those

As much as I'd like, I don't think it would support a F1 track. You have to look at the demographics of the area and what facilities the local economy has to support one. Demographics would also rule out a Nascar track, which I am glad they do. Honestly with a sports arena, most of it would sit idle for a good part of the year.

What I forsee I sometimes like a big plant or warehouse structure for a much larger company, or set of companies. Hell, even a plant that builds cars would be nice, and with the intercoastal being not too far away, it could be a possibility for shipping cars around the world. Of course some major dirt work would need to be done, but it could be possible and worth it in the long run.

There just isn't much you can do there.
