Terrebonne Parish Townhall - Dulac | September 8th 2026

The Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government held a townhall meeting on September 8, 2026, focusing on community updates, infrastructure projects, and disaster recovery efforts. Key procurement-related discussions included the allocation of $2.6 million for home elevation projects under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), ongoing road and bridge repairs with DOTD investing approximately $25 million over two years, and a $25 million bond issuance to complete drainage and evacuation route projects. The parish is also advancing utility infrastructure upgrades, including a $170 million power plant demolition and rebuild starting September 14, 2026, with new generators ordered having a 24-month lead time. Additionally, nuisance abatement efforts were highlighted, supported by a $1 million grant from Boat USA for vessel removal. Economic development initiatives were discussed, including tax incentive programs and a $30 million investment by Novaspark in hydrogen innovation. The parish is actively pursuing grants and partnerships to fund these projects and improve government efficiency through technology upgrades, such as a new accounting system expected to save over $500,000 annually. No formal votes were recorded in the transcript, but multiple funding and project updates were provided to the public.
