Port's financial net position exceeds $12 million as commission braces for reduced income.

Port's financial net position exceeds $12 million as commission braces for reduced income. * By Richard Meek AN17.com * Oct 20, 2026 Air Products' five-year stay in Tangipahoa Pariah has apparently left a positive financial impact on the South Tangipahoa Parish Port Commission. Figures from the most recent audit appears the windfall. The audit for 2025 shows the commission's total assets as of Dec. 31 were just north of $15 million and total liabilities $380,000. The State of Net Position, according to the audit, reports assets at $7.398 million, mostly consisting of cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit. Capital assets consisting of property and equipment totaled $6.869 million, driving total assets to $15 million, considerably higher than when Air Products announced its carbon capture project several years ago. Overall, the port's net position at the end of the year was $12.744 million. For the fiscal year ending 2025, the total revenue was $1.538 million and total expenses $801,111, resulting in a net income of $943, 481. Air Products has been paying the port approximately $1 million annually since announcing its proposed carbon capture project more than four years ago, but that will have to made up with other revenue streams since the company announced it will cease its Manchac operations, likely by mid- 2027. Previous financial statements obtained by AN17.com through a public records request reveal Air Products began paying rent on the property in 2022. Records show that the total rental income for the year ending Dec. 31, 2022, was $888,739. By comparison, the total rental income for 2021, the year before Air Products announced its project, was $386,635 and in 2020, rental income was $371,213. To put Air Products' impact in perspective, in 2020 and 2021 financial records indicate the port showed a net income of $164,647 in 2020 and a decrease to $116,867 one year later. Since reaping the financial benefits beginning in 2022, commissioners have been intentional regarding stashing away the increased funds through money markets and other financial instruments. Additionally, the port has been able to spend money as needed on improvements and in other areas. Also during the meeting, former port treasurer Dr. James Nelson expressed his concern for the port, saying that in its 75-year history it has not lived up to its expectations as an intermodal economic entity. He raised the question if commissioners were receiving an update from Executive Director Pat Dufresne on a master plan that is being researched and authored by the Kathleen Babineaux Blanco Public Policy Center in Lafayette. "How much of an economic impact has the port had on the citizens of this parish much less in the region?" he asked. "I just ask the editors of the master plan keep that in consideration of the history of the port. "What was it supposed to have been but has never reached that potential and have a more creative vision as to what this valuable waterfront property could be." Commissioner Tina Roper told Nelson that she is asking the planners to include potential for the port's 100 combined acres in the southern end of the parish and not just the 40 acres at the port. Roper asked Dufresne if he had been able to contact ports similar in size to the Port of Manchac regarding their own master plans Dufresne told commissions Blanco Center planners recently visited the port and "are continuing their research." Commissioners also received an update from Brandi Fontenot from GIS Engineering of Baton Rouge regarding the port's LA-DOTD Port Priority projects. Fontenot said the most significant development regards a proposed fire suppression system for the warehouses currently being leased by Premier Chemicals. She said GSI has received an inventory from YKH Consultants of Metairie as to how Premiers is storing the chemicals and the quantities on site in Warehouse 2. She said YKH evaluated the data against the NFPA 30: Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, which is the industry standard developed by the National Fire Protection Association. Based on that information Fontenot said the fire suppression system will be more costly than expected, although an estimate has not been finalized. She said based on the inventory of chemicals in Warehouse 2, it has been determined that 3,000 gallons of water per minute would be required in an emergency. Fontenot said for a two-hour duration system, 360,000 gallons of water would be needed, which would likely necessitate a water storage tank or a fire pump system. She said a dry suppression system is not an option based on the chemical inventory. "It is something that can escalate very quickly," she said. She said YKH is also researching additional options. Fontenot conceded that if not for the chemicals the cost of the fire suppression system would be much less. She added that also of concern is a requirement dictating storage requirements and said "If they get inspected, I am not sure it would (pass)" Port attorney Andre Coudrain said he will contact Premier to assure the company is in compliance, and if not, he could put the company on notice.
