The thing is, Those permanent jobs will mostly be jobs that can be done Remotely from anywhere in the World. They will not be local jobs. If you look at the Meta Careers page Rayville site, you can see those jobs will be high end engineering jobs. The temporary jobs will be construction and labor jobs. These DC are designed to run off very little manpower. I work in the Tech industry and know these facilities very well. The only onsite personnel will be to maintain physical maintenance. Kenny Harvard tried to make it seem that all these jobs will benefit the local community but in reality, they will benefit the parish in taxes. I;m only stating all of this because I have been seeing comments on The St Francisville Rants and Raves site like "when is their job fair". Its not a Walmart. That's NOT how Meta hires. Besides the amount of people actually qualified to work here is almost slim to none, in the surrounding Parish. It seems most people believe if they can work a cell phone or PC, that gives them the experience to wiork in the TECH industry lol

I work in the tech industry in West Feliciana Parish and have spoken to someone who is actually affiliated with this project. Yes it is true and yes it is meta that is building next to Entergy. The reason they are building there is because of the power requirements of the data center. From what I was told energy cannot handle yeah power requirements on their grid for the storage center so big cage and Entergy are going in together to build another power plant that will supply more power. It's not going to be nuclear from what I understand it's just going to be another coal plant.
Believe it or not it's coming
