## Resource

A major showdown looms in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, as Hyundai eyes a $900 million tax-exempt bond for its proposed steel plant — a project already backed by over $400 million in state funding. Residents and advocates are furious, calling the process secretive and rushed, with key decisions made in January and little public input until now. The bond commission will vote on the deal this Thursday — and if approved, Hyundai could begin commercial production by early 2029.
