Landrieu, D-La, today announced $15.7 million in disaster recovery grants related to Hurricanes Katrina and Isaac for the New Orleans area. Funds are provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation programs. “The work we are doing to recover from these disasters ensures we are better prepared for and protected from tomorrow’s storms,” Sen. Landrieu said. “Many of the facilities that will benefit from today’s grants will be reinforced to protect our communities and provide peace of mind for our residents and businesses.” “The $3.3 million in grant funding announced today represents hope and progress for the communities on the Gulf Coast that are still struggling to rebuild and recover after Hurricane Isaac,” Congressman Richmond said. “With each new grant, Louisianans get closer to our goal of economic growth and prosperity. I am committed to working with FEMA to ensure our coastal communities achieve full recovery.” Today’s grants include: • $4.4 million to Facility Planning and Control to replace a building at Nunez Community College in St. Bernard Parish damaged as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The building hosts computer labs, administration and teaching offices, student government offices and commercial kitchen and dining. The new building will feature three air units on the rooftop to prevent flood damage. • $1.6 million to Facility Planning and Control for the Post Engineer Complex at the Jackson Barracks in St. Bernard Parish damaged as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
