Economic development updates for New Orleans covering recent months include:

Nucor Corp., a steel and steel product manufacturer, is considering building a $2 billion facility in St. James Parish.  The project is not final, as international sites for the facility are still being considered.  If St. James Parish was chosen for the facility, over 2,000 jobs would be created during peak construction.  Over 500 permanent, high-paying jobs would be created once the facility was completed.
