Council adopts ordinances to acquire two properties through FEMA hazard‑mitigation grants
Summary
Council held public hearings and adopted ordinances authorizing the parish to acquire two properties under FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program project numbers cited in the ordinances; staff said both acquisitions would be 100% grant‑funded with no parish match required.
The Livingston Parish Council held public hearings and adopted two ordinances authorizing the parish to acquire immovable property under FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program projects.
The two ordinances address separate properties: one at 25878 New Hope Avenue in Dillon Springs (FEMA project number 4277DRLA0131) and another at 15945 Cypress Pointe Lane in French Settlement (FEMA project number 4277DRLA0124). The council opened and closed the public hearings with no speakers and adopted both ordinances unanimously.
Parish staff stated both acquisitions are 100% grant‑funded and do not require parish match or homeowner contributions. The acquisitions will enable the parish to pursue hazard mitigation goals under the FEMA grant program and remove repeatedly flood‑damaged structures from the floodplain when required by program rules.
The council's votes authorized parish staff to proceed with the property acquisitions under the FEMA project numbers cited in the ordinances.
