Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) has announced the U.S. Department of Treasury’s acceptance of Louisiana’s Second Amended Direct Component Multiyear Implementation Plan under the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act of 2012 (RESTORE Act).
The amended plan refined the state’s strategy for spending its total allocation of $261 million from the RESTORE Act’s Direct Component of the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund.
CPRA will apply for grants to begin implementing the projects described in the amendment, consisting of large-scale hydrologic and marsh restoration projects in the Calcasieu-Sabine Basin.
