BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana is offering a $30 million voluntary buyout program to residents of a neighborhood that has flooded three times in recent years, Gov. John Bel Edwards said Friday.
This week’s rains brought the latest floods to the Greinwich Terrace neighborhood in Lake Charles, a city which was hit by Hurricanes Laura and Delta last year and Harvey in 2017.
“This program gives our residents a reason to be optimistic about the future, no matter how painful the present," Mayor Nic Hunter said in a news release from the governor's office.
