Calcasieu Pass Loop & East Fork Dredging

Touted as one of the key recovery/retention projects in the parish, this dredging project has become the barometer of Cameron’s economic development engine through its parish and port affiliates. The Office of Planning & Development for the Cameron Parish Police Jury and authorized agent for the West Cameron Port Authority, underscores this project as not only essential to the current industrial stock , but plays prominent in the parish’s future shore base operation and its continued recruitment of LNG, deepwater, oil field service and fisheries sustainability.

Calcasieu River Surveys and Navigational Data


The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers -New Orleans District, Operations Division performs routine hydrographic surveys to monitor local river and waterway navigation conditions. This information is used as a decision making tool for channel maintenance operations.

The collected data is processed into MicroStation-format CADD files. The surveys are also very useful to supplement published navigational charts with more recent shoaling and other channel condition data.

Holly Beach Sewer The Holly Beach Sewer District in tandem with the Cameron Parish Police Jury has been successful in securing a $5.5 M allocation through the State’s Capital Outlay Program for the construction of a community wastewater treatment and collection system. It has been determined that if Holly Beach is to have any chance at redevelopment, the advent of a community based sewer system will be paramount to effect orderly growth that is basically in the public’s interest of health and safety.

Louisiana Land Trust Properties

The Louisiana Land Trust is a non profit organization formed to manage the properties that have been purchased by the State of Louisiana under the current Road Home Program as part of the ongoing recovery effort from the damage caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

The Louisiana Road Home Corporation Act became effective on June 29, 2006 under Senate Bill No 445. This Act created a non-profit corporation whose mission is "to finance, own, lease as lessee or lessor, sell, exchange, donate or otherwise hold or transfer a property interest in housing stock damaged by Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Rita.” This act gave the Road Home Corporation (now doing business as the (LLT)Louisiana Land Trust ) broad powers to receive and dispose of the properties, to accept funds "from any sources,” to borrow against these properties and to obtain payment for these obligations and to "enter into any and all agreements,” necessary to carry out its mission. This would be done under the guidelines "set forth by the Louisiana Recovery Authority” and to provide for financing "as administered by the Office of Community Development.”

Funding for the Louisiana Land Trust is provided through Community Development Block Grant funds administered by the Office of Community Development.
