President Mike Cooper announces two public meetings for the St. Tammany Parish Comprehensive Drainage Plan, a plan to assess stormwater runoff across the entirety of the Parish’s watershed basin.
President Cooper said this Plan assesses the Parish as a whole for the first time in our history and they are currently in the information gathering phase.
The meetings will be Thursday, November 10, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Parish Council Chambers at 21490 Koop Drive in Mandeville, or Wednesday, November 16, from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at the Parish Council Chambers in the Towers Building at 520 Old Spanish Trail in Slidell.
Public meetings for the Comprehensive Drainage Plan are being held to gather and document citizens’ concerns for inclusion in the development of the plan. The Plan is focused on examining the existing state of drainage in St. Tammany and recommending capital projects and potential policy changes leading to reduced flood risks and increased public safety.
Additional public meetings will be held in January.
