Description: Domino Sugar Refinery On the Mississippi River Louisiana by Debra Martz When seeing at a distance and even when nearing the refinery, I thought it was something of the past. And then the narrator aboard the Creole Queen Historic Cruise began to tell of its history. To my surprise it is still operational and has been operating on the banks of the Mississippi River since 1909, now producing 7 million pounds of sugar per day. This Louisiana refinery is one of the region’s largest employers, providing more than 400 direct jobs. Today, the Chalmette refinery is the largest cane sugar refinery in the western hemisphere. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved
