Issues: National Security Budget, Spending and Taxes Infrastructure

U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) announced today that the Army Corps of Engineers will spend more than $323 million on projects across Louisiana. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Kennedy helped secure these funds, including $14 million for the Comite River Diversion Canal and $9.47 million for the Houma Navigation Canal.

"Louisiana is sorely lacking in flood control and protection. The Comite River Diversion Canal and the Houma Navigation Canal are just two examples of projects that need funding so homeowners can sleep without worry at night," said Sen. Kennedy. "That's why I am pleased to announce more than $323 million in funding for our state's water infrastructure projects. These funds will go a long way towards helping Louisiana."
