USACE Tangipahoa meets in Sept.

NEW ORLEANS – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' New Orleans District has scheduled two public scoping meetings - Sept. 13-14 - to present information and gather public input for the Tangipahoa Parish, La., Feasibility Study. 

The overall goal of the study is to identify and potentially recommend actions to manage flood risk to public safety and human life and reduce economic damages within Tangipahoa Parish. Over the next year, the study will begin to evaluate the full range of alternatives that could be reasonably considered for addressing flood risk problems within Tangipahoa Parish. 

Two separate meetings will be conducted in Hammond of Sept. 13 and Amite City on Sept. 14 at 6 p.m. 

 The meetings will also be streamed simultaneously on the district’s Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/usacenola. 

These meetings are a follow-up to the two pre-scoping open houses held in February 2023, and they are being held to give the public, interested parties and stakeholders another opportunity to provide additional input to help identify and evaluate flood risk management solutions to flooding in Tangipahoa Parish.
