WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced $4,281,920 in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant for Louisiana disaster aid.

“When waterways overflow, Louisianians’ homes and businesses are at risk of serious damage. I’m grateful to see that this $4.3 million will reduce the risk of flooding in Concordia Parish,” said Kennedy.

The FEMA aid will fund $4,281,920 for the second phase of the Lake St. John and Lake Concordia Drainage Project, which will help alleviate flooding in the northern portion of Concordia Parish.
