re: LSU Lakes Final Draft Plan Released

Looks great. Needs to happen. Has the money already been allocated?

Not yet, but much has been promised. $13 million was raised just last year by the legislature to get them started. That should provide much of the money they need to get through the permitting process and start dredging. The idea is that the work will be done in 4-5 stages and that a conservancy group will be set up that includes members of BREC, BRAF, LSU, and residents who live along the lakes. They will manage the property and oversee the completion of all of the phases, much like what was done with Central Park in NY or City Park in New Orleans.
