Cedric Richmond (LA-02) announced the availability of more than $15.4 million in federal funding for flood recovery projects throughout Louisiana. The resources will go towards reimbursing schools in Baton Rouge for remediation activities, improvements to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank, and debris-related activities in Ascension Parish following last August’s severe storms and flooding: “We are continuing to fight for every resource that will help us get closer to a full recovery,” said Rep.
