Acadia Parish, Louisiana works to elevate flood-prone structures.
Acadia Parish, Louisiana: $1.06 million
Acadia Parish proposes to elevate flood-prone structures an additional two feet above the base flood elevation shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map. There have been a total of seven severe repetitive loss and repetitive loss claims among these properties and this project will provide up-to-date elevations to reference before construction begins.
It will also bring critical resources to communities that have been overburdened by legacy pollution and environmental hazards through installing nature-based solutions to reduce environmental hazards, including erosion control and rainwater harvesting systems.
