2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 34 - Navigation and Shipping|§3521. Additional rights and powers

RS 3521 - Additional rights and powers A. In addition to any other authority or power granted by law, the board of commissioners for a port authority in Natchitoches Parish shall have authority to make and enter into contracts, leases, and other agreements with railroads, trucking companies, bargelines, and with any and all companies interested in the transportation, storage, and shipping of goods and other products, whether by rail, truckline, bargeline, or otherwise, for the use of facilities administered by the commission or any part or portion thereof for a period of time not exceeding ninety-nine years. However, no exclusive franchise shall be granted to any carrier. B. The commission shall also have the authority to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of, by suitable and appropriate contract, to any enterprise locating or existing within its port area, all or any part of an industrial plant site, industrial plant building, or other property owned by the commission, subject only to the requirements of this Chapter. In determining the consideration for any contract to lease, sell, or otherwise dispose of lands, buildings, or other property of the commission, it may take into consideration the value of the lands, buildings, or other properties involved as well as the potential value of the economic impact of the industrial or business enterprise being induced to locate or expand within the port area. Such economic impact shall include increased employment, increased use of local labor, wages and salaries to be paid, consumption of local materials, products and resources and special tax revenues to be generated by the industrial or business enterprise acquiring or leasing lands, buildings, or other property from the commission. Any lease may be for a term not exceeding ninety-nine years and may contain an option to purchase by the lessee. C. The resolution or ordinance adopted by the commission authorizing any lease, sale, or other disposition of lands, buildings, or other property of the commission shall set forth, in a general way, the terms of the authorized lease, sale, or other disposition, and such resolution or ordinance shall be published as soon as possible in one issue of the official journal of the commission. For a period of thirty days from the date of publication of any such resolution or ordinance, any interested person may contest the legality of such resolution or ordinance or the validity of the authorized lease, sale, or other disposition of commission property, after which time, no one shall have any cause of action to contest the legality of the resolution or ordinance or to draw in question the legality of the authorized lease, sale, or other disposition of commission property for any cause whatsoever, and it shall be conclusively presumed thereafter that every legal requirement has been complied with, and no court shall have authority to inquire into such matters after the lapse of said thirty days.

2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 34 - Navigation and Shipping|§3551. Coastal Port Advisory Authority; purpose; legislative findings

RS 3551 - Coastal Port Advisory Authority; purpose; legislative findings The legislature hereby finds and declares that the development of oil and gas resources is essential to promote Louisiana's economic growth and the ability of the maritime, oil and gas industries to compete in regional, national, and global markets and to provide a high quality of life for the people of this state. The legislature declares and finds the following: (1) The Gulf of Mexico has substantial oil and gas resources. (2) Many of these resources are considered to be in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. (3) Major energy companies are expressing renewed interest in the deepwater oil and gas resources of the Gulf of Mexico as expressed in recent federal oil and gas lease sales and in budgeted capital expenditures. (4) The state of Louisiana was once best suited to serve as the host state for the fabrication of the infrastructure needed to develop shallow and some deepwater Gulf of Mexico oil and gas resources because of its competitive advantage of world class coastal ports. (5) Due to the need for larger and heavier infrastructures to serve the continued quest for deep water resources combined with the current limitations of Louisiana's coastal ports, the state of Louisiana, and the United States of America, are losing market shares, for the fabrication of deep water infrastructure projects. (6) Economic opportunities and job creation resulting from improved coastal port infrastructures could create a renaissance of fabrication resulting from the proposed private investment of major energy companies in the deepwater resources of the Gulf of Mexico. (7) The state of Louisiana has a great opportunity to fund the greatest environmental project of our generation, the restoration of coastal Louisiana, from the proceeds of deepwater oil and gas resources as a result of previously adopted federal law and certain Louisiana constitutional amendments. (8) The state of Louisiana should move aggressively to determine how it can best fund improvements to its coastal ports in order to take advantage of the pending private sector investments in the deepwater resources of the Gulf of Mexico, and, thereby secure itself as the premiere province to host such activities, and further secure jobs for its citizens and improvements to the quality of life.
