WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced $1,480,988 in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant for Louisiana disaster aid.

"Hurricane Ida struck southeast Louisiana, leaving damage to our ports. I’m thankful to see that this $1.5 million will go toward restoring Louisianians’ office facility at the Lafourche Parish Port," said Kennedy.

The FEMA aid will fund $1,480,988 for the Greater Lafourche Port Commission to replace the Fourchon office building as a result of Hurricane Ida damage.
