Read excerpt
The final official act in a sprawling, seven-month effort to bring Elon Muskâs SpaceX to Louisiana took place in a nondescript room at the Vermilion Parish Courthouse.

The agenda for the p

Since taking office in early 2024, Gov. Jeff Landry has lured several megaprojects to Louisiana totaling some $250 billion, including Metaâs $50 billion artificial intelligence data center in Richland Parish, Hyundaiâs nearly $6 billion steel mill near Donaldsonville and, most improbably, Elon Muskâs SpaceX, which announced last month that it would build a $100 billion rocket-launch complex in coastal Vermilion Parish.
