Opposition to Phase III of bayou project grows in Hitchcock
Local residents led by Baker oppose widening the bayou arguing it won’t curb upper area floods, worsens land subsidence, harms wildlife and histories, and threatens homes, trees, cemeteries, and a fence line. They cite ecological and land-loss concerns backed by Dr. Andre Del Flache and await a county vote while the Corps pushes ahead.
