DE Obtains Funding Assistance for Five Clients to Help Restore the Ecological Health of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin

We strive to consistently go above and beyond just designing, constructing, and executing projects for our clients: we develop meaningful relationships with them and essentially become an extension of their staff. By becoming an extension of their staff, we are able to offer and achieve efficiency and continuity thus accomplishing our shared mission of improving the communities we live and work in.

Part of this relationship with our clients includes helping them to obtain funding assistance for projects within our communities. Last Thursday DE was proud to receive the news that grants we helped prepare for five of our clients were awarded by the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program (PRP) for Fiscal Year 2018.

The purpose of the PRP is to restore the ecological health of the Basin by developing and funding restoration projects and related scientific and public education projects. The funding we helped secure for our clients on Thursday will be used to address various needs throughout the Lake Pontchartrain Basin area.

We do more than design roadways. We plan them, too.

Roadway widening, a dedicated bike lane, and traffic signal modifications are a few scope elements to David Drive Corridor Improvements, a project DE is designing for Jefferson Parish based on the recommendations that we provided to the RPC under a Stage 0 Feasibility Access Management Study for this corridor. From transportation planning and traffic engineering to design, DE has managed all phases for this corridor improvement that reaches from Veterans Boulevard to West Napoleon Avenue.
