JENNINGS, La. (AP) - The Jefferson Davis Parish Police Jury is considering a company's request to rezone nearly 23 acres near the Lacassine Industrial Park for construction of a rum distillery.
Louisiana Spirits wants to rezone 22.77 acres near Interstate 10 from light industrial to heavy industrial to allow it to make rum.
Parish Economic Development Director Marion Fox said the company plans to operate the distillery just north of the syrup mill near the industrial park.
Louisiana Spirits hopes to be open by April and said it will employ 35 people, Fox said

Re: Distillery proposed in Jeff Davis Parish
Said on the 10:00pm news that they should have a website up and running in January. They also showed a shot of the site, they already have the slab poured. Now that it has been rezoned to heavy industrial they can proceed with construction.

Re: Distillery proposed in Jeff Davis Parish
From what I understand this was originally a state of the art rice mill. Then the head of dept of agriculture built this place with prison labor and embezzled the funds. Now a private firm bought the place to turn it into a distillery. Some disaster wasting 70-80 mill of state funds.

Well apparently they've sucked up my molasses source. Called today and they don't have any and don't plan on selling anymore!

This probably helped get them going:
Good luck to them getting off the ground.Fox said police jurors also authorized the president to sign all documents related to reimbursement of an Economic Development Award Program grant for the company. That funding will provide infrastructure support for Louisiana Spirits, she said.
