They are, and if they don’t meet the requirements the states will absolutely make you pay it all back, that I can assure you

I guess this is where the uncertainty in my thought process comes from. I don't know how to quantify that. Easier to quantify additional tax revenue from 500 individuals (property/sales/income). Appreciate the serious response

In many states you have to submit an economic impact report as part of your application for these types of incentives so it is quantified on a relative basis as part of the process. And many of these programs mandate certain metrics such as you have to have X number of jobs that pay at least 110% of the parish average wage.

Not sure the exact process in Louisiana

I listened to the presser during lunch, and they announced around 7,500 jobs during construction. Then shrinking to about 500 jobs post-construction. Does that mean LC will get an influx of families without the property tax boost for local services? I am honestly looking to be corrected/educated, so someone please correct me. Is the sole benefit coming from 500 permanent jobs and the sales tax collected from those extra inhabitants?

If they don’t build the plant, you still get $0 in property tax. These plants are a little different in you have to be near the natural resource, but I can tell you with certainty, these projects are competitive. Companies absolutely factor incentives into where and/or if they complete these projects.

To your question, is sales tax the only from residents the only additional revenue, no. They have to have somewhere to live so they pay property tax, they pay income tax on their wages, which for a project like this is typically well over the parish average wage. And the company is still paying a shite ton of taxes. Sales tax on purchases, employment taxes, apportionable income taxes to the state, etc, etc.

This is good news, but Louisiana really needs to focus on diversifying its economy. This will bring thousands of new direct operational jobs*****


***** contingent on the price of LNG, like the rest of the economy. Honestly at this point, one of the largest economic drivers not tied to oil and gas in the state at this point is the Buc-ee’s being built. The state really needs to focus on that, imo, while continuing to expand with projects like this

Like a government, the diocese only gets money from collections. So you are asking the people who had nothing to do with this to pay up

You know you don’t have to give money to an organization that harbors pedophiles and then covers it up right?

Stick to putting AGI on people’s tax returns, you’re typically a fricking moron otherwise

We might be talking about the same thing, but often USPS will do the last mile delivery so when it’s handed to them,

No, just last week I had something they marked as delivered at like 7:30pm. Check my door, nothing. The next day they dropped it off at like 3pm. The deliverer, I assume, marked it as delivered so they could be done for the day and it would show as delivered on time, left it in the truck, and then dropped it off the next day
