The Vermilion Parish Police Jury unanimously voted September 16 to plan a visit to SpaceX in Brownsville, Texas, and authorized the parish administrator to coordinate it through Ben Lancaster, according to the parish’s unsigned meeting minutes.

The vote appears on page 9 of the minutes for the regular Police Jury meeting in Abbeville. The meeting record is labeled “NOT SIGNED,” so the report identifies it as unsigned.
The vote authorizes planning and coordination. The minutes do not give a visit date, itinerary, cost, invitation from SpaceX or confirmation that the visit will occur. They also do not document a SpaceX agreement or a Louisiana project decision.
