This is a massive deal and one that puts Louisiana at the top of the list for new business development in the US

Because of federal ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and export control laws governing rocket and defense technology, the vast majority of SpaceX employees must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders).

Not even that. They literally can't hire H1Bs for the majority of their jobs

Allegedly, out of 15K employees, they have under 50 H1Bs

I love this for you, Louisiana. Really wish we had something like this for coast of Alabama.

PS - Just hoping thugs from NO don't try stealing hubs off those 40 tire, transport crawlers.

This is a turning point for Louisiana and Louisiana Economic Development. There isn’t a state in the country—outside perhaps Texas and Florida—that wouldn’t kill for a $100 billion investment and nearly 10,000 jobs.

Coastal erosion, at least in Vermillion Parish, will be a thing of the past.

Incredible

Don't forget the LNG boom in SWLA, the new rare earth facility going up in Vinton, the data centers, etc

LA has no excuses not to be booming economically

Tough shite. This area of Louisiana hasn’t had economic development since the 70s.

They'd just find another way to tax you to make up for it...

Property tax... Getting rid of the homestead exemption..
