Group promising massive redevelopment in Opelousas claims to have loan secured
The group promising massive redevelopment in Opelousas returned to the city this week, claiming before the City Council they had secured a $ 4 billion loan for a new airport, manufacturing plant and a “smart city,” among other projects. That means the project can move forward “without the city or its citizens having to pay a single dime or dollar,” the construction partner on the project, Charles Watson, told council members.
