Morgan City receives beautification grant

The city of Morgan City has been selected as a recipient of a Keep Louisiana Beautiful Beautification Grant by Keep Louisiana Beautiful.

The grant award for $5,000 will support refreshing the landscaping around the four “Welcome to Morgan City” signs spread throughout the community, replacing the landscaping surrounding the water fountain in Lawrence Park, and placing new landscaping around the City Hall sign.

Refreshing the landscaping in these areas will provide a welcoming façade for visitors and residents, improve the appearance of the areas, and increase community pride, said a news release from the Morgan City government.
