re: Surprise collapse of $800 MIL grain facility draws activists' praise, Landry's criticism

I’m normally against giving away property tax dollars through ITEP, then adding a plant that produces carcinogens. How does a grain system negatively affect the environment? I’m seriously asking. This is one of the few projects that seem feasible.

Did some work at that facility as a contractor, talk about the middle of nowhere!

corps of engineers destroyed the La delta by damming off bayou Lafourche at Donaldsonville in 1905. This was the largest environmental disaster in the United States
But what does this have to do with this project?

I enjoyed the business end In working at export facilities I learned allot about the export business and logistics. Midwest I learned more about the producers and actual production and contracts.

What are companies in the future going to think when they are considering investing along the Lower MS River when they see these stories that a handful of people were able to derail these projects after the companies had invested years of time and millions of dollars in planning, engineering, etc.?
Did anyone ask those companies to consider South LA? We should listen to the neighbors most affected by new industrial development

With the facility there'll be a need for new convenience stores, gas stations, a place or two for breakfast/lunch, then a grocery store or two. Then as the community grows maybe a subdivision or two, It snowballs from there.
But the people making the money from that site will not live in that area… they’ll live somewhere that already has all that and commute

You’re going to have to explain how a town that is 90%+ black not wanting a plant in their town is incredibly racist against white people. Start at around 2nd grade level logic.
Low key racist..

why not? are you saying the people that live in the area aren't capable enough to work at a grain elevator? I hope you aren't saying that.

You don’t know that.
Why do you want black people to remain in poverty?

Goto Greenfield’s Facebook page on the post where they announced that the facility is cancelled, look at everyone who shared that post, and read the posts and comments beneath them from all the people in that community who are disappointed that this project didn’t go through. I bet you will see more in favor than not.
Furthermore I have little sympathy for anyone who opposes a development like this near their home when they live near a major US port system, it should be expected that it’s going to happen at some point.
Other than a small neighborhood of 20-30 houses next door to Greenfield’s property, the other houses in that community are much farther away. It’s not like this was proposed to be built in the middle of a well populated city or something, it’s about as rural as it gets.

it seems like there is a sum of money that is inconsequential to the overall cost of the project that could have moved those people out.

They’re probably not. It’s probably gonna be baws from Ascension or St Charles.
(Not knowing what qualifications it takes but it probably requires some education)
Just like I heard if they build the container port in Violet St Bernard residents won’t get the jobs there. They’re union jobs and we’re not in them
