Public Meetings Scheduled for Tangipahoa Parish Feasibility Study

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District (USACE) will be holding public meetings Sept. 13-14, 2023, to seek input from Tangipahoa Parish community members about a proposed study focused on managing flood risk within Tangipahoa Parish.

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, Louisiana. 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.
