Vote: Would you welcome a data center in Simmesport?

State Rep. Daryl Deshotel is asking Avoyelles Parish residents to weigh in on the possibility of bringing a large data center to the port in Simmesport.

Through an online poll, Deshotel wants to hear whether residents support the idea, oppose it or need more information—and what matters most to them, including local jobs, electric rates and river water use.

“Whether you’re for it, against it, or need more information, I’d appreciate hearing from you,” Deshotel said.

The poll seeks public feedback on a possible opportunity; his message does not announce an approved project.
