Proposed Project
FG has received the permits needed to begin construction of The Sunshine Project and site preparation is underway for the estimated $9.4 billion industrial complex to be located in St. James Parish, Louisiana.
The industrial complex will be constructed in two phases. Once completed, the complex will produce polyethylene, polypropylene, polymer and ethylene glycol that are used to make everyday products including car casings, plastic bottles, grocery bags, drainage pipes, artificial turf, polyester clothing, antifreeze and playground equipment.
The proposed project will have a significant economic impact at the state and local level. FG expects to create 1,200 new direct jobs with an average salary of $84,500 plus benefits.
- PHASE ONE would consist of one ethylene plant, associated polymer plants, ethylene glycol plant, one propylene plant and associated polymer plant and ancillary support facilities for product loading and utilities, including electricity and wastewater treatment.
- PHASE TWO would consist of an additional ethylene plant, associated polymer plants and ethylene glycol plant.
