Third Floodwall Plan Proposed
Officials from four agencies at Monroe City Hall advanced a new closure plan for the long standing floodwall gap on South Grand Street. The cantilevered concrete wall would fold down during low water to provide a six foot sidewalk and parking, preserving three historic structures and un disturbing other buildings. Formal agency approvals and future HUD funding talks are planned as the Corps presents the plan to the levee board later this week.
