Gov. Jeff Landry is inviting hundreds of Louisiana elected officials and business leaders to Abbeville next week to announce that Elon Musk's company SpaceX is planning to build a multibillion-dollar spaceport on a roughly 18-mile stretch of the coast about 45 miles southwest of Lafayette.
An invitation, sent via email by the governor’s office and Louisiana Economic Development on Wednesday, said Landry and LED Secretary Susan Bourgeois "cordially invite you to join them in announcing a defining moment for Louisiana's future."
The event is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Tuesday in Abbeville, the Vermilion Parish seat and the closest city to the site of the planned spaceport.
Landry's office declined to comment but sources familiar with the deal said the subject of the announcement is the SpaceX project.

I know there’s gonna be push back but I really think this is gonna great locally. Vermilion parish just hit the lottery because most of the land is marsh land that isn’t good for anything, but hunting and even the duck hunting has gone to shite the last few years. It’s gonna be really cool watching launches.

Not many times in my life have I been able to say that I wish I owned property in Abbeville.
This is going to be huge for there.
