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.

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

Contenders and pretenders as 31 Lafayette-area football teams reach postseason

The matchups are set and the times locked in. And with the 2026 LHSAA football playoff brackets released, the road to the Superdome is laid out. Thirty-one teams from Lafayette Parish and its surrounding area made the cut, earning their spot across the eight divisions. Among those teams, some have a destiny that includes hardware coming back to their respective communities. Other teams will have a different path, some may call it an underdog route, as they look to shock the state with deep postseason runs. For some teams, the postseason journey may be a short one with tough opening-round matchups on the docket that may be too much to handle. The Daily Advertiser has decided to place each area team in one of three categories as either state championship contenders, pretenders or darkhorses. A championship contender is a team likely to play in the Superdome. A pretender is a team that likely won’t make it past the first or second round. The darkhorses? Well, it's anyone's guess. Contenders Eunice (10-0): The Bobcats earned the No. 3 seed and a bye in the Non-Select Division II bracket after completing a perfect regular season for the fifth time in school history.
