Ordinance (and agreement) to facilitate BJ’s Wholesale in Gonzales introduced

For a second time an ordinance to create Veterans Blvd Economic Development District was introduced by Gonzales’ City Council. The first one was rejected on October 12 by a 3-1 vote (one council member was absent) as Councilwoman Terri Lambert argued that the requisite Cooperative Endeavor Agreement (CEA) should have been introduced first (even though the drafting attorney explained that it was being done in the customary manner). Butler Snow’s Adam Parker was back last night, this time with the CEA alongside the ordinance.

Louisiana signs $6.8 million contract for SpaceX transportation planning

(The Center Square) – Louisiana has signed a contract allowing up to $6.8 million in state-funded payments to a New Orleans engineering firm for transportation work supporting SpaceX’s planned development in Vermilion Parish. The contract calls for Royal to help assess, design and oversee transportation improvements associated with SpaceX’s development. Services include evaluating roads and bridges, studying traffic, obtaining permits, coordinating utilities, assisting with property acquisition and overseeing construction. Louisiana Economic Development has said DOTD is evaluating transportation routes, road and bridge conditions, traffic impacts and potential improvements to Louisiana Highway 82. State officials have not established how the overall transportation costs will be divided between taxpayers and SpaceX. The agreement contains no requirement for SpaceX to reimburse the state. It does not identify specific roads or bridges to be improved or establish a total infrastructure budget. DOTD must approve a budget and issue a written notice to proceed before Royal can incur compensable costs. The contract packet does not establish whether that authorization has been issued or how much the firm has been paid. The agreement anticipates work on multiple transportation projects, with supplemental agreements required for additional projects. DOTD previously told The Center Square that Royal’s Louisiana resources
