The economic impact from the construction of the plant will be felt across the state, but the effect will be largest in St. Charles and St. John parishes, according to an analysis by Louisiana economist Dr. Loren Scott.
The two parishes will see $973 million in new business sales and $198 million in new household earnings during the construction phase, according to Scott's analysis.
At the peak of construction, there will be more than 700 people employed directly on site. Once complete, the plant is expected to employ 31 people full-time.
