AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Construction & Ports: A 300-ton crane has been moved to Lafayette for the Our Lady of Wisdom Church steeple lift, with road closures still in place near UL and Girard Park as crews assemble the steeple on-site ahead of a Friday placement. Energy & Data Centers: Meta’s Hyperion data center expansion in Richland Parish is drawing louder calls for transparency, with advocates saying NDAs and limited public info are obscuring how Entergy Louisiana will meet massive power needs. Utilities & Costs: Entergy Louisiana backed away from a proposed $1.8B Texas gas-plant purchase after concerns about ratepayer costs, even as the AI-driven power demand race continues. Oil & Shipping: Oil prices swung on Red Sea shipping risk and shifting expectations around a potential interim accord to reopen the waterway. Coastal Litigation: In Plaquemines Parish’s Chevron fight, Louisiana AG Liz Murrill says the focus is whether the case stays in federal court and what happens to a state-court cleanup judgment. Agriculture & Food Supply: Louisiana’s SNAP rolls fell nearly 21% year-over-year, and state data says the drop isn’t tied to citizenship checks or work requirements. Fisheries: The Louisiana Shrimp Task Force recommended opening the statewide white shrimp season Aug. 18, with Terrebonne Parish starting later that day. Business Development: Louisiana Economic Development approved $1.4M for infrastructure at McLeod Business Park in Lockport to speed up commercial and industrial growth.
