Congressman Higgins toured the facility in August 2022 to discuss the project, and he delivered a letter of support in May urging USDA to approve the grant application. Since 2017, our office has written hundreds of letters of support for pending federal grant applications and has shown a strong record of success. “This is a welcome investment that will lead to new jobs and economic activity for St. Martin Parish,” said Congressman Higgins. “The Guidry family runs a beautiful, squared-away operation. This USDA grant will help them expand their facilities and increase processing capacity. I look forward to their continued success here in South Louisiana.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:24:37Z |
