Louisiana has not modernized ports

The time has come for the state to seriously consider a major new port. Somewhere with a lot of land around it, so we can build new road/interstate and rail connections to it. Our current ports don't have that.

There's talk of a new container port in St. Bernard. It would come with a direct connector of sorts in the form of a highway from 510 directly to the port, and new rail access as well.
