In Wallace, Louisiana, Greenfield Louisiana LLC announces it is ceasing plans for a 222 acre grain export facility that would sit near enslaved ancestors' lands. The move follows persistent opposition led by Joy Banner and The Descendants Project, amid concerns over cultural heritage sites and potential burial grounds.
Greenfield Louisiana LLC halted plans for an 11 million ton grain terminal in Wallace Louisiana amid opposition from environmental and historical preservation groups. The project would have created over 1,000 jobs and boosted state revenue, but faced legal and cultural concerns tied to nearby National Historic Landmarks Evergreen Plantation and Willow Grove cemetery. The Army Corps of Engineers cited environmental and preservation laws delaying permits, while critics call the delay a win for heritage and community protection.
In Wallace Louisiana sisters Jo and Joy Banner spearhead The Descendants Project to block Greenfield Louisiana LLC from a 222 acre grain export facility near their property and historic slave sites. After nearly two years the company withdraws plans amid concerns about preserving Black Louisianan heritage along the Mississippi River.
