"Remarkably, the fastest growing MSA in the country over 2013-18 is the Lake Charles MSA. We have documented almost $117 billion in projects announced for this region since 2012---an unheard of number. About half of those projects have yet to start construction, something we expect to change, especially in mid-to-late 2019 when three LNG projects are expected to go vertical. Lake Charles is expected to continue in its role as the fastest growing MSA in the state, adding 4,000 jobs (+3.3%) in 2019 and another 5,300 jobs (+4.3%) in 2020."
