EuroChem Group AG reports that it has selected a site in St. John the Baptist Parish for its contemplated Louisiana natural gas-based nitrogen plant and distribution center.
Two locations were short listed among available properties including the property in St. John the Baptist Parish and a state-owned site in Iberville Parish, which was purchased by EuroChem in 2013.
While a final investment decision remains subject to EuroChem board approval, finalizing the purchase agreement on the property allows EuroChem to move forward with the planning and pre-construction phase of the project.
The company plans to work with state and parish officials to secure another industrial buyer for the Iberville Parish site.
