President Mike Cooper has announced additional public meetings for the St. Tammany Comprehensive Drainage Plan, the first plan to assess stormwater runoff across the entirety of the Parish’s watershed basin.
President Cooper said he encourages all citizens to visit the Plan’s website and attend the town hall meetings to enable them to gather a complete representation of the area’s drainage challenges.
The additional meetings will be Tuesday, January 24, from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. in the Parish Council Chambers at the Towers Building on Old Spanish Trail in Slidell, or Thursday, January 26, from 5:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at the Parish Council Chambers on Koop Drive in Mandeville.
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.
