    WASHINGTON, D.C.-Congressman Clay Higgins announced yesterday that South Louisiana waterway projects received significant funding in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers FY 2021 Work Plan.

    For Operation and Maintenance, projects in Louisiana’s 3rd District were awarded:

    • $22.992 million for the Atchafalaya River and Bayous Chene, Boeuf, and Black
    • $30,000 for the Bayou Teche and Vermilion River
    • $50,000 for the Bayou Teche
    • $43.496 million for the Calcasieu River and Pass
    • $7.577 million for Freshwater Bayou
    • $12.393 million for the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway
    • $1.88 million for the Mermentau River

    For Construction, projects in Louisiana’s 3rd District were awarded: 

    • $9 million for the Calcasieu River and Pass

    Congressman Higgins issued the following statement: 

    “The Corps’ 2021 Work Plan provides significant funding for dredging and waterway maintenance projects across South Louisiana. Funding levels for the Atchafalaya and Calcasieu river projects represent a sizable increase over the President’s budget request and will help to better address dredging needs in those areas. Support for our ports and waterways remains a top infrastructure priority for my office.”
