Show Notes
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a $419 million contract to Pittman-Sealevel for the next phase of the West Shore Lake Pontchartrain hurricane protection system, focusing on levee construction in St. John the Baptist Parish. This project, part of a larger $4 billion effort, aims to reduce storm surge risks in the River Parishes and is a response to Hurricane Isaacs flooding in 2012. The project is expected to be completed by 2029, with local leaders viewing it as a significant step towards safer communities.
