Louisiana Coastal Protection Authority to begin home elevation project | Louisiana
SUMMARY: The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) discussed ongoing projects, including elevating homes in flood-prone areas and coastal restoration efforts. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will elevate nearly 3,500 homes and non-residential properties, with costs exceeding $1 billion. Additionally, a $5.5 billion project aims to restore marshes and stabilize shorelines. The CPRA has 109 active projects funded 65% federally and 35% by state revenues. Nearly $296 million from the 2022 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is allocated for raising structures. Quick funding is crucial, as significant land loss occurs every 100 minutes due to natural disasters.

Caddo Parish School Board chooses interim District 7 representative | Louisiana
SUMMARY: The Caddo Parish School Board conducted meetings to appoint an interim District 7 representative and discuss a school bus tire contract. Jerry Bowman Jr. was elected with seven out of 11 votes after competing against Carla Buntyn, Pamela Jackson, and Linda Smith. Bowman’s public service experience helped him secure the position. In the regular session, board member Steve Umling opposed a bid from Southern Tire Mart for school bus tires, arguing the offered Double Coin tires were not tier 1. However, after a lengthy discussion, the board approved the bid 8-3, deciding to revisit the contract next year.
