If Alabama gave them more they’d dump Louisiana in a heart beat.
Alabama doesn’t have the major urban centers that can resemble other cities.
I seriously doubt that. Yes, there has been incentives started under Mike Foster's administration. However, the synergy is reaching the tipping point where it may be embedded in Louisiana long term.
I have a friend who deals in real estate. Many Hollywood workers are moving into the city. Many writers and producers are settling in the Garden District.
He says the demand for housing is so great in that area, that any house that goes on the market is usually sold the first day. He says many Hollywood types are paying cash, sight unseen for the houses.
There are also a number of large production facilities under development or being planned. The film industry is definitely becoming embedded in Louisiana.
