When the Comite Diversion Canal is completed isn’t the base flood elevation going to change for a lot of people? The flood maps would have to be redrawn.

This was supposed to be completed in December of this year, but as is the case with any project in LA, it’s been pushed back to December of 2022. Have they even broken ground yet?

Central, Zachary, and North Baton Rouge maybe. But not so much in Denham Springs or French Settlement. Also the damn thing still isn't complete.

Everything new in Central is built up higher than the stuff build in 1970s-1980s anyways, especially since 2016.
