I'll play devil's advocate and do some more speculating . . .
- Maybe once the fiber suppliers were identified it made financial sense to move up river closer to the supply source to avoid costly barging. - Maybe the Port of Natchitoches had more land available and was more willing to work with the Company than Baton Rouge was. - Maybe Baton Rouge was getting too tight with all of their other tenants and rail projects that BMSPF was looking for more room to grow. - Maybe there were delays at Baton Rouge that couldn't be avoided so they moved up river. - Maybe there are enough fiber supplies at Natchitoches and Baton Rouge that both projects are still feasible. - Maybe the bonds being issued for Drax put too much debt out there through Baton Rouge and Natchitoches was better able to absorb the bond issuance required for BMSPF.
