Ramp
Posted:
3/7/06
The Louisiana
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) will assist the
Office of State Parks with funding the construction of a new
boat ramp facility at Fort Pike State Historic Site in Orleans
Parish.
Under the federal
Wallop-Breaux Boating Access grant program administered by
LDWF, the Office of State Parks can receive up to $263,250
or 75 percent of the total project cost. Project construction
should be completed by the end of 2006.
Because the existing
ramp facility is in disrepair and considered unsafe, it will
be closed in preparation for construction of the new facility.
Both the department and the Office of State Parks regret this
short-term inconvenience.
