Parish explores using $685,000 from closed I‑10 service‑road project; deadline looms
Summary
Parish president said staff discovered a possible $685,000 available from a closed I‑10 service‑road account; FP&C prefers service‑road uses and the legislature returns March 9, so staff are consulting the governor's office and FP&C about eligible projects and a deadline to allocate funds.
Parish President Pete Delcomb told the council staff recently learned of a potential $685,000 available from a previously closed I‑10 service‑road account and that the Office of Facility Planning and Control (FP&C) prefers repurposed funds be used for I‑10 service‑road projects. He said the money is not in parish possession and that if a viable project is not identified before the legislature reconvenes, the funds may be swept back to the state.
Delcomb and staff discussed possible eligible projects (a short service‑road extension near Rees Street and a Section 28 Road project) and said they are working with the governor’s office and FP&C to identify a project that can be approved before the March legislative window. "There was a possibility of 685,000 that may be available," Delcomb said, and he urged the council to prioritize eligible road candidates and be prepared for a rapid decision if the funds become available.
