A
A
Cataldo
drainage,
Improvement
project
groundbreaking.
This
is
a
significant
drainage
project,
1.4
million
dollars
from
Louisiana
Watershed
initiative.
That's
going
to
go
to
this
project
to
help
drainage
Improvement
in
the
neighborhoods,
often
9
45.,
the
Dentistry
Vatican
Drive
Edna
Street
Cataldo
Street
Bonnie,
Lane,
St,
Patrick
Street.
So
that's
significant
right
around
here.
We're
going
to
be
improving
culverts.
Putting
in
bigger
Roots,
improving
the
drainage,
making
sure
we
get
the
water
flow
out
do.
B
Some
needed
improvements
within
the
city
of
Donaldsonville.
We
have
come
to
the
point
to
where
we'll
get
some
dirt
moving
and
get
some
improvements
within
our
drainage
system
on
the
West
Bank.
That's
the
immediate,
quite
a
long
time,
I
think
we're
more
further.
Along
now
than
we've
been
in
quite
some
time,
there's
been
some
things.
That's
been
done
here
haven't
been
done
in
50
years.
C
This
is
a
project
that
had
been
a
long
time
coming
and
I'm
just
happy
to
be
a
part
of
it
happy
that
we
was
able,
through
the
Louisiana
Watershed
initiative,
to
get
some
dollars
for
for
this
project
to
bipartisan
infrastructure.
Bill
has
reported
us
this
opportunity
to
go
out
and
get
some
of
this
money.
Drainage
Improvement
is
very
necessary
for
people
house
this
flood.
It
causes
A
disruption
in
their
life
and
their
lifestyle.
D
E
I
understand
the
problems
and
understand
the
needs
here
in
this
community
I've
been
out
with
doing
heavy
rain
and
watching
the
people
complaining
and
worry
about
the
fact
that
the
water
is
about
to
come
in
their
house
and
we
make
commitments
to
people
that
we're
going
to
do
things
in
order
to
help
them.
This
is
a
commitment
that
has
come,
come
to
fruition
and
I'm,
just
happy
I'm,
excited
and
I
just
want
to.
Thank
everybody.
That's
involved
that
have
played
a
part
in
it,
because
it's
not
about
me.
It's
not
about
you.
E
A
Excited
about
the
future
excited
about
this
project
and
we're
excited
to
get
this
ground
bake
breaking
underway.
The
existing
system
in
this
neighborhood
may
have
been
adequate
when
it
was
originally
installed,
but
over
time,
drainage
here
has
become
problematic.
This
project
will
improve
flow
and
bring
much
needed
to
residents
living
in
this
area
of
Donaldsonville.
