St. James Parish Boards Review Industrial Permits, Land Use, and Mausoleum Requests

St. James Parish advisory and planning bodies convened on July 27, 2026, to review a series of industrial coastal use permits, land use designations, and subdivision requests. The available records for these meetings consist solely of agendas, as minutes have not yet been published. Therefore, the outcomes of the discussions and any votes are not currently available in the record. All three meetings took place on the same day, covering topics from energy infrastructure to local cemetery expansions.

Coastal Zone Commission Reviews Industrial Projects

The Coastal Zone Commission agenda included updates on two industrial facilities. Mosaic Fertilizer, LLC (P20260465) provided an update on an electrical substation and equipment installation. CARBONPAVE LA (P20260543) presented an update on a modular office and carbon asphalt plant.

The board also reviewed state-level coastal use permits for pipeline repairs and well plugging.

The commission's review of these permits is a procedural step for projects located within the state's designated coastal zone.
