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

Economic development officials in Ottumwa are dealing with the recent announcement that John Deere will close its factory there and consolidate its operations in Des Moines and Louisiana

Economic development officials in Ottumwa are dealing with the recent announcement that John Deere will close its factory there and consolidate its operations in Des Moines and Louisiana. Greater Ottumwa Partners in Progress executive director Marc Roe says within hours of last Tuesday’s announcement, he began collaborating with Iowa Workforce Development and Indian Hills Community College to brainstorm how to retrain and retain those workers. “Ottumwa, any community isn’t about one business. It’s going to change our landscape for sure, but, you know, it doesn’t have to determine the future of the community. That’s up to us to do,” Roe says. John Deere will leave about 400 people out of jobs, in addition to an abandoned industrial complex in the middle of Ottumwa. Roe hopes to attract new manufacturing, retrain local employees through workforce development or the local community college, and find new ways to retain families who are building businesses or going to school in Ottumwa.
