"I hate to say this but don't discount Alabama's chances of getting this
plant. They are very business oriented here and have landed a number of
automobile plants going back to the Mercedes-Benz plant in Vance AL in the
80's I believe. I think anything Alabama has to offer Louisiana can match so
I'm hoping we get it. JLY"
**True, but one determining factor is a huge body of water that runs
adjacent to the proposed plant half-way between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
It's a plus to have shipping of materials right from the river.
If we lose it, it'll be a quick spiral for Ms. Bunko, for sure, losing a
chance for 3000 jobs and tons of bucks fusioned into the economy that can't
afford to build roads.
