Parish reports two federal grant applications: USDA warehouse and EPA STAG water-line project
Summary
St. Helena Parish reported submitting two federal project requests through Congresswoman Julia Letlow's office: about $1.5 million for a hardened storage facility at the industrial park and about $2 million for a Firetower Road water line extension through EPA STAG funding.
During the March 10 meeting, Mr. Roderick Matthews told the Police Jury that parish staff submitted two major federal funding applications via the office of Congresswoman Julia Letlow for the FY2027 Congressional Direct Spending cycle. The first project is described as approximately $1.5 million for a Hardened Storage Facility (a 5,000-square-foot warehouse) at the St. Helena Parish Industrial Park via USDA funding. The second request is for approximately $2 million to extend a water line on Firetower Road using EPA STAG funds.
Matthews presented these as funding applications that have been submitted for consideration; the minutes do not report awards, matching requirements, project timelines, or environmental reviews. If awarded, the projects would support storage capacity for the parish and a water infrastructure extension, respectively; further approvals and funding commitments would be required before construction.
Provenance: Reported in SEG 008.
