Round 2

Round 2 provides strategic investments in flood risk reduction projects that align with federal grant requirements, as well as project design support for local and regional partners.

ROUND 2 PROJECT FUNDING AND ASSESSMENT

This is a project funding opportunity for local and regional public entities. To be eligible, projects must benefit low- and moderate-income and disadvantaged communities in parishes most impacted and distressed by the 2016 floods. The state will provide feedback to all applicants, including those ineligible for funding, as well as technical assistance for eligible applicants.

CONDITIONALLY AWARDED PROJECTS

Following the pre-application phase, regional steering committees prioritized projects in their regions that align with LWI’s long-term resilience goals. State agencies reviewed regionally selected projects for CDBG-MIT eligibility and recommended 39 projects, totaling $218.06 million, to the Council on Watershed Management for conditional awards, which it approved.

The funding awards are contingent on applicants completing, and receiving state approval of, a full application. The state will provide technical assistance, including engineering services, such as hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and project scoping support. Full applications will be evaluated based on the outcomes of engineering studies.
