The Bayou State wants to spend $877 million in fiscal 2022 on coastal projects building more than 23 square miles of land and on advancing hurricane storm surge reduction work along the state s southeastern and south-central shoreline.
The plan represents a 19 percent reduction in spending from the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. That s primarily the result of delays in getting permits for the $1.4 billion Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion project, said Chuck Perrodin, spokesperson of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.
