Formosa Plastics Group still intends to build and operate a massive plastic and petrochemical plant proposed for Louisiana, the company said on Thursday, despite a judge’s decision to revoke its state air permits.

FG LA, a unit of Formosa, said in a statement that it “intends to explore all legal options” and continue to pursue permitting of its proposed “Sunshine Project,” a $9.4 billion industrial complex in Louisiana’s St. James Parish, where local Black residents have waged a years’ long battle to block construction on what they consider sacred land. / Usnews
