The approval of a property tax break for American Plant Food’s fertilizer plant in Waggaman, Louisiana has raised concerns among residents regarding the project’s job creation estimates. While the company initially stated that the plant would create 100 jobs, the estimate has since been revised to 28 jobs. Some residents have accused the company of manipulating job numbers to secure the tax break. However, American Plant Food officials argue that the project will be built in phases and will eventually reach the promised 100 jobs. The approval of tax breaks for other projects, such as CF Industries’ ammonia plant and ADA Carbon Solutions’ plant, was also greenlighted by the Board of Commerce and Industry.
