Incentives and cheap labor lured them in.

They better build an electrified wall around that plant with a moat.

$35 Million in the Cement manufacturing world doesn’t go far.
Especially if your trying to build something heavy on gumbo mud.

Meh, it's not a copper plant. There's an asphalt plant out there that, with some security, stays pretty safe.

(a) the spanish are hyper cheap up front and willing to bear the brunt of incremental costs brought on by that cheapness. They have no idea what it takes to do business here.
(b) "skilled" labor is not really that skilled in the cement business. It's not like they'll have plumbers, machinists, millwrights, etc... "skilled" in a cement plant is basically show up sober.

On gumbo soil....or worse.
Generally cement plants are built where the limestone is, gypsum is brought in, and there is NO native aggregate within how many hundred miles of NOLAeast.
I just can't see the logic of them cooking a fine lime powder in HUGE structures: gas to burn.maybe, I just hear a huge sucking sound as anything build out there settles into the peat and wet clay with a few silt lenses, and the giant rotating kilns roll off and towards I-10

They said it was daft to build a cement plant in the swamp, but I built it anyway…and it sank into the swamp.
