Parish President Hotard is pleased to announce the inclusion of $450 million for the West Shore Lake Pontchartrain Levee Project allocated through the Hurricane Ida Supplemental Disaster Relief bill.

President Hotard continues to work closely with state and federal officials and partnering agencies to move the levee project forward.

“I would like to thank the President and our Congressional Delegation including Rep. Graves, Rep. Carter, and Sen. Cassidy, for continuing to support the West Shore Levee Project,” said Parish President Hotard. “Additionally, I look forward to continuing to work with the Governors Office, The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, Pontchartrain Levee District and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, on completion of a successful project.
