I have a lot of relatives in that area. I need to check in and see if they know who sold the land.

Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to have one installed right next door to your house.

Too bad the state has given them a 10yr waiver on all state taxes and is having the state taxpayers foot the bill for transmission upgrades. frick politicians.

And it'll bring about 10 permanent jobs to the area. The rest of the shite will be done remotely.


Massive amount of growth occurring around the NE LA Meta Datacenter.

You do not know what you are talking about.

A lot more than you know.

Entergy is also building 10 new Natural Gas Power Plants in the state. I guess you believe those will be remote jobs as well?

Hyundai Steel is building a new facility near Donaldsonville and CF is undergoing a massive expansion.

More remote jobs I presume.

Well, that is too bad. They’d have come with or without them. The politicians rolled over too quickly. They aren’t exempt from county tax, and it’ll be a massive revenue source locally.

As far as the taxpayers footing the bills. Here’s a link to the Ratepayer Protection Pledge from the White House, March 4th 2026. LINK

So how many permanent jobs will the data center create? I don’t recall him asking about Entergy, Hyundai or CF.

I'm including all the other job growth occurring around it. The datacenter will be huge so it'll be significantly more than 10, I assure you.

How about this math: No data center + zero surrounding job growth because of it = 0. But you're cool with 0, I guess.

Meta would not have come here without in depth talks with Entergy supporting the facility, so you have to include those job numbers as well.

Better than no jobs at all and the infrastructure won’t be stressed for years to come trying to accommodate 300-500 families.


Why would we want 500 tax paying families contributing to our society, when instead we can have 10 glorified mall cops on the campus?

The county will also receive anywhere from 1-1/2 to 2 million in tax revenue a month. Massive gain! Sounds like a win to me.


We have counties now??? Also what exactly is providing 24 million a year in tax revenue?

They aren’t getting waivers on local taxes. West Feliciana is going to see almost $90 million per year for the Meta DC under construction. That more than doubles their current $41 million budget.
