Jindal says Cheniere Energy will expand its existing Sabine Pass terminal to produce LNG and ship it worldwide. The Governor says Cheniere's huge expansion will mean thousands of construction jobs, plus create 148 new jobs; with pay and benefits totalling about $100,000 a year. He says construction at Cheniere will begin early next year.
Jindal says Cheniere's expected to take advantage of state industrial tax credits to support their growth. He says they'll also utilize the state Workforce Commission's Quality Jobs and FastStart programs to fill positions. Jindal says this is the biggest single investment in expansion ever made by a private company in Louisiana.
