U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy has announced that Morgan City will receive a grant of $16,702,779 from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The funding comes from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) in Local and Regional Project Assistance (RAISE) Grants. This project aims to enhance transportation infrastructure within the city.

The allocated funds will cover the final design and construction of various improvements, including sidewalks, crosswalks, ADA access, bicycle lanes, street trees, and lighting across four segments in Morgan City.

“This was the promise we made with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. We are investing in big and small communities to rebuild our physical infrastructure and improve the quality of life,” said Dr. Cassidy. “Investments like this help Louisiana build an economy for 2050.”
