The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has officially granted the federal permit for the Louisiana International Terminal, clearing the way to build America’s next major deep-water port right here in St. Bernard Parish. This isn't just a regional win; it’s a generational, multi-billion-dollar boost to our economy, promised to bring over 18,000 statewide jobs, unlock thousands of mega-container ships downriver, and rewrite Louisiana’s role in global trade. Beth Branch, President & CEO of the Port of New Orleans, joins Newell to detail what construction starting today means for local traffic, tax revenue, and your pocketbook.
