On Thursday U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. took part in a roundtable at Southeastern Louisiana University with elected officials throughout Tangipahoa Parish, as well as officials from Southeastern.
They discussed how resources from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act can improve the lives of people in their community. Dr. Cassidy called the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act a force multiplier for the work already here because it invests in Louisiana energy and expands high-speed internet.
While there, Cassidy also discussed flood insurance and issues important to the University.
Later, Cassidy visited Medline’s new distribution facility in Hammond. Medline supports 125 jobs in Tangipahoa Parish, with plans over the next 5 years to expand.
