La. House OK's coastal plan

The Louisiana House of Representatives unanimously approved the state’s updated coastal master plan on May 25 paving the way for $50B worth of wetland restoration and storm protection projects over the next half-century. 

The Senate backed the plan early this month.

Both chambers also approved the $1.6B annual coastal plan. The 2024 plan is about $27M more than 2023's plan, and includes several dredging projects aimed at rebuilding 22 square miles of land. (NOLA.com 05/25/23) Louisiana Legislature approves 50-year coastal master plan | News | nola.com
