The project will help protect over 300 residential properties, a church, a school, and a fire station.\n\nFEMA has previously obligated $1,436,316 to the project, and the federal cost-share has been increased from 75% to 100%. This brings total funding for the Bailey Grove Detention Pond project to over $6.6 million.\n\nCongressman Higgins issued the following statement:\n\n\u201cThis flood control investment is great news for Youngsville and Lafayette Parish. Mayor Ritter is doing heroic work on these flood mitigation projects, which will help protect homes and businesses in South Louisiana. My office will continue working with the City of Youngsville to help overcome bureaucratic obstacles at the federal and state levels. My office supports mitigation investments like this, and we\u2019ll continue to advocate for South Louisiana\u2019s water management needs.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:08:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://clayhiggins.house.gov/2022/09/13/higgins-announces-523m-youngsville-flood-control-project/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1010889429599047, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
