The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) held a Groundbreaking Ceremony to celebrate the start of the Southwest Coastal Louisiana Project earlier this week.
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.
