INDIA PORT (TBD)

The Louisiana International Terminal project is a significant public-private investment of $1.8 billion, with construction
expected to begin in 2025 and an anticipated opening in 2028. This project aims to enhance the supply chain for container
shipments on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, potentially creating over 17,000 new jobs statewide by 2050. The terminal will
be located in Violet, Louisiana, and will serve vessels of all sizes, dramatically increasing Louisiana's import and export capacity. The
project is designed to leverage extensive transportation connectivity, including interstate systems and railroads, to facilitate efficient logistics. The terminal is expected to handle between 180,000 to 280,000 containers in its first year of operation.
Additionally, the project incorporates sustainability measures and community input into its design.
