Episode Details

West Feliciana Parish is set to receive a massive $10 million cash infusion from AI giant Hut 8—just weeks away, not years—thanks to a newly approved cooperative agreement. The prepayment, part of a PILOT program, will fund critical parish needs: $5.3M for schools, $3.9M for government, and $800K for law enforcement. While the deal accelerates much-needed infrastructure repairs—especially for rain-damaged roads—it’s not yet final, pending approval from the sheriff’s office and school board. Meanwhile, the council postponed a decision on a water line servitude, wary of Hut 8’s right to build sidewalks and parking lots on parish land, which could expose the parish to future liability if leaks occur.
