SpaceX receives 130,000 acres of Louisiana public land and $27.5 billion tax incentive package from Governor Landry

SpaceX has secured 130,000 acres of public land in Louisiana along with a $27.5 billion tax incentive package and legal immunity protections under an agreement negotiated by Governor Jeff Landry, according to reporting by More Perfect Union. The outlet reports the negotiations were conducted under non-disclosure agreements, restricting public disclosure of terms. Local residents cited in the report express concern that the facility's planned launch rate of 30 rockets per day poses environmental risks to the Louisiana coast. More Perfect Union characterizes the arrangement as unusually favorable to the company relative to typical public-private land agreements.
