State Officials To Announce Deal With Elon Musk's Aerospace Company
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is expected to announce a deal with SpaceX to build a spaceport in the state. The site, located in Vermilion Parish, is seen as an ideal location for launches due to its coastal location and access to natural gas. The announcement is part of a broader effort by the state and federal governments to support the growth of the commercial aerospace industry, with SpaceX aiming to launch 1,000 rockets a year. This development was first reported by The Times-Picayune | The Advocate.
