ST. JAMES PARISH - A year of unprecedented change, and losses, is ending with the shutdown of a Louisiana plant that supplied 700 jobs to area citizens and had an economic impact of over $18,000,000 on St. James Parish in 2017.
According to The Advocate, the Shell oil refinery in Convent is expected to complete its shutdown by the close of Sunday, Dec. 13, which is when it will begin removing inventories of oil, chemicals and other materials.
