In Brief

Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, is considering an ordinance requiring RV parks near residential areas to install privacy fences at their own cost and capping sites at 50, ahead of SpaceX's $100 billion spaceport plans.

Officials in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, are considering an ordinance that would impose new requirements on RV parks in connection with SpaceX's plans to build a spaceport costing $100 billion. The proposed rules would require parks adjacent to residential areas to install privacy fences at their own expense and limit the number of sites to 50.

The parish currently has no zoning, which has sparked debate among police jury members. The move comes amid an expected influx of workers and rising housing demand. The next meeting is scheduled for September 16.

SpaceX Project Could Spur RV Park Growth in Louisiana

The Vermilion Parish Police Jury is preparing for an influx of workers next year due to the construction of a SpaceX facility in South Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, and is planning for the arrival of hundreds of workers with campers who may stay for two to three years or more. Governor Jeff Landry is expected to announce the billion-dollar project on Tuesday, Aug. 25, in Abbeville. The parish anticipates increased development of RV parks. Near Brownsville, it is common to see 400 travel trailers parked on a 20-plus-acre site, housing workers building SpaceX and an LNG plant.

Louisiana Parish Approves Rezoning for Proposed RV Park

The West Feliciana (La.) Parish Council approved a rezoning request Aug. 10 for a proposed recreational vehicle park on U.S. 61 at Wakefield, according to The Advocate. The zoning change met with both opposition and support from area residents, and the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended denying the request. Emile Marchive III told the council he planned to develop a multi-million-dollar luxury RV park on 99 acres of his 985-acre property, including a 50-60-acre fishing lake, in three phases, starting with 16 concrete parking pads for RVs.
