Louisiana Parish Backs Bid for Federal Nuclear Innovation Campus
What happened
The East Feliciana Parish Police Jury expressed support for the state's effort to secure a federally backed Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus (NLIC). The U.S. Department of Energy is evaluating five states, including Louisiana, for potential sites. Louis Kent, a juror, stated that the parish would benefit if the campus were chosen.

Why it matters
The federal energy department estimates that each NLIC could generate at least $10 billion in investments, 5,000 direct full-time jobs, and billions in local tax revenues. The resolution supporting the campus is an expression of general support for Louisiana’s participation in the initiative.
