AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Manufacturing: BASF has started production at its $1 billion Geismar expansion, doubling the Ascension Parish complex’s MDI capacity to 600,000 metric tons a year and making it North America’s largest producer of the chemical. Data Center Pressure: Veolia has taken over wastewater operations in Delhi and Sterlington as nearby data center construction drives growth. Separately, landowner groups are suing over a fast-track rule for an Entergy transmission line serving data center development. Local Business: National chains moving onto Magazine Street are raising concerns among some New Orleans businesses about competition and the future of the corridor. Jobs and Investment: GE Vernova plans a $34.5 million expansion at its Shreveport transformer plant, while Borden Dairy’s planned Lafayette closure will eliminate 149 jobs.
