Cassidy Announces $4.4 Million for Louisiana from His Infrastructure Law

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) announced Louisiana will receive $4,400,000.00 from the Delta Regional Authority (DRA) through his Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) for public and transportation infrastructure and flood control needs. 

“By improving the infrastructure across Louisiana, we are building an economy for 2050,” said Dr. Cassidy. “The Infrastructure Law ensures that our communities get the funds needed to make these improvements, and because I had a seat at the table, our communities are receiving more than their fair share of this funding.”
