The Hammond Redevelopment Commission approved two applicants for the basement-backup protection program, which provides mitigation assistance for basement flooding.
Commissioners voted to approve funding for Gussie Richards of 817 Field Street and Adrienne Sergeant of 6730 Alabama; each applicant was approved for $5,250. The motion to approve both applicants was moved, seconded and passed by roll call with all present commissioners voting yes.
