Another company makes a huge investment in Louisiana. CF industries is putting up a massive ammonia facility on the West Bank of Ascension Parish. In a ceremony at the Capitol this morning, Governor Landry said it will be the largest facility of its kind in the world.
“A brand-new $4 billion-dollar, cutting-edge facility dedicated to producing low-carbon intensity blue ammonia,” Landry said.
Landry says the new facility will create many high-paying jobs.
“This facility will generate over 100 new direct jobs, with average salaries of over $100,000 dollars,” Landry said.
Landry says this is the latest in a series of major economic development projects to come to Louisiana, leading to a very bright future in the state.
“It is a future where Louisiana is finally leading, not only our southern neighbors, but the world, when it comes to innovation and sustainability, ” Landry remarked.
CF Industries started evaluating Ascension Parish three years ago in deciding where to build its new ammonia facility. Along with the direct jobs, the project will also create more than 300 construction jobs. No word on when construction will begin; CF Industries is looking for the facility to be operational in 2029.
