Plaquemines Parish Government

Plaquemines Parish Government is a local government entity located in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since October 2001. As a U.S. local government and county-level administrative organization, the parish serves the southeastern Louisiana coastal region, which is known for its critical infrastructure, environmental challenges, and strategic location along the Mississippi River. The government is actively engaged in federal grant programs that support infrastructure development, emergency preparedness, coastal restoration, economic development, and community resilience.

Through its federal grant awards, Plaquemines Parish Government has received substantial funding from multiple federal agencies to address critical infrastructure and community needs. The Department of Defense's Washington Headquarters Service Office of Economic Adjustment has awarded significant grants, including a $13,725,400 project for a Joint Emergency Coordination Center and a $5,793,200 grant for sea level rise mitigation and resilience improvements. The Delta Regional Authority, Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration, Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration, and the Department of Treasury have also provided grants for projects ranging from sewer lift station replacements and water treatment plant improvements to comprehensive safety action planning and coastal restoration initiatives. Sub-awards, primarily through the Louisiana Homeland Security & Emergency Management agency, have supported emergency protective measures, infrastructure repairs, debris removal, generator installations, and community development programs. These grants demonstrate the parish's focus on infrastructure resilience, emergency preparedness, economic development, and addressing the unique environmental challenges of the coastal Louisiana region.
