The project is a coastal restoration and storm mitigation effort that encompasses 4,700 square miles in Calcasieu, Cameron, and Vermilion parishes. “While I opposed the Infrastructure bill in its totality, there are elements within the bill that my office fully supports. We have long prioritized funding for water management and storm mitigation efforts, including the Southwest Coastal Louisiana project,” said Congressman Higgins. “I secured language in the 2018 Water Resources bill prioritizing this project for construction, and my office has advocated for funding through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers since coming to Congress.” Background on funding efforts for the Southwest Coastal Louisiana Hurricane Protection project: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |
