  • Federal, state, and local officials break ground on Southwest Louisiana Coastal Project

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority held a Groundbreaking Ceremony to celebrate the start of the Southwest Coastal Louisiana Project. This project will deliver a non-structural approach to providing a 1-percent level of hurricane and storm damage risk reduction, primarily through a combination of elevating or floodproofing approximately 4,000 homes and businesses and undertaking much-needed coastal ecosystem restoration in the southwest portion of the state.
