The celebrations Friday came after the St. James Parish Council earlier this month rejected a zoning ordinance that would have allowed other industrial use of the company's property.The proposed ordinance would have rezoned a residential neighborhood in the parish's 5th Council District—a low-income, majority-Black district on the parish's west bank that is already home to a large number of industrial sites—to a"residential/future industrial" designation.
