Key driver: Southeast Louisiana I-12 corridor parish; Amite City seat; Entergy Louisiana MISO grid; Hammond-Ponchatoula metro growing rapidly (+4.5%); strawberry and blueberry agricultural heritage with some solar conversion precedent; rural fringe available but suburban growth consuming agricultural parcels; growing community opposition near Hammond metro; Parish Council increasingly attentive to residential concerns; C-grade reflects worsening trajectory from suburban growth pressure, moderate compliance complexity, and saturation risk building in I-12 corridor
