Hyundai Steel is constructing a $5.8 billion steel mill in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. The project is supported by a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) program and various tax breaks. These incentives include waiving all sales and property taxes in exchange for a flat $3 million annually, which is split between the parish, school system, and sheriff's office.
