Presenter says Resilient Communities funds will be redirected to Gospel Oak Park community center
Summary
A presenter said disaster-recovery dollars from the Resilient Communities Infrastructure Program will be reallocated to build a new community center at Gospel Oak Park in Lake Charles after the originally funded project proved infeasible.
A presenter announced that disaster-recovery dollars from the Resilient Communities Infrastructure Program will be redirected to a new community center at Gospel Oak Park in Lake Charles. The speaker said the funds were originally awarded for a different project that proved not feasible and that returning the money to the federal government "is not an option." "We chose to invest in Gospel," the presenter said.
The presenter described three options for the funds: return them to the federal government, move them to an already approved and eligible disaster-recovery project, or submit a new vision for approval. The presenter said the third option was chosen and that the new proposal will repurpose the existing Corporal Donna Ray Stevens Community Center at Gospel Oak Park. No dollar amounts or implementation timelines were specified in the presentation. The Resilient Communities Infrastructure Program was cited as the funding source for the reallocation.
