Folks on the west side of the river will see a Career Academy and more small businesses popping up in 2024. In 2023, West Baton Rouge announced a number of developments. One of them being Placid Refining expanding its operations to its Port Allen facility. The Shell Catalysts plant, known as the largest catalyst refining plant in the world, also announced plans to expand. Plus, Exxon is also planning to add services for both West and East BR. Exxon is calling its group of projects the innovation suite which will improve options for things like recycling and educational outreach opportunities. Leaders said the economic development forecast for 2024 showed 1,000 new jobs coming to WBR. A big sector is going to be construction due to the expansion of a lot of these facilities, so we’re really excited about that, said Anna Johnson, Executive Director of the West Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce.
