HR 280 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

PORTS/HARBORS/TERMINALS: Urges and requests state officials, including legislators and appropriate Department of Transportation and Department of Economic Development officials, to read the Critical Development Issues Overview report by Vickerman and Associates commissioned by the St. Bernard Parish government

This resolution asks state officials and legislators to review a report commissioned by St. Bernard Parish regarding a proposed new container terminal. The document highlights community concerns about the project's potential impact on local infrastructure, traffic, and safety, citing a lack of thorough planning in the proposal. While the measure does not change laws or authorize funding, it formally requests that government leaders consider these findings when evaluating the terminal's location. The resolution also directs the parish government to send copies of the report to relevant state departments and all members of the state legislature.
