TIG draft plan for La. projects

Some $86 million of the $5 billion earmarked for Louisiana from the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill fund is going for restoration projects in the state. The Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group (TIG) released a draft plan on how to spend $22 million on four projects along the state’s Gulf Coast. TIG is accepting public comment on its plan and will discuss it January 17 at 9:30 a.m. prior to the Coastal Protection Restoration Authority board meeting in Baton Rouge. (Source: NOLA.com 12/21/17)
