Carter, Sr. (D-La.) joined Mayor Leroy Sullivan, State Senator Edward J. Price, State Representative Ken Brass, and Community and Economic Development Director Lee Melancon to celebrate funding for the City of Donaldsonville’s natural gas system improvements. Rep. Carter secured $4,000,000 for the city through Fiscal Year 2023 appropriations funding. This money will be used to complete phase two of necessary improvements and allow Donaldsonville to move forward toward fully replacing the pipes which will protect the community from potential gas leaks. “When I learned about this need, I committed to doing everything in my power to help fix this problem in the interest of public safety. I am proud to make good on that promise today,” said Rep. Carter. “Donaldsonville’s current infrastructure consists of old cast iron distribution mains for the city’s natural gas system. We must work toward changing out all the cast-iron lines because it's a first and foremost a safety issue, and secondly, we don't want this to be a hindrance down the road to any development. This funding is crucial to make the city’s natural gas pipeline infrastructure safer, create good jobs, and reduce the risks to Donaldsonville residents and businesses.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:44:29Z |
