U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-Louisiana, announced Tuesday that Louisiana will receive $1,223,795 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Hurricane Delta relief.

St. Mary Parish will receive $1,165,525.00 to fund the elevation of two existing structures that have experienced repetitive flood damage and $58,270 for management costs associated with the two elevation sites.
