This bill would expand the Delta Regional Authority to include Terrebonne Parish in Louisiana, allowing the parish to access federal development and economic assistance programs available through the Delta Development Act. Currently, the Delta Regional Authority serves specific parishes in Louisiana and other states in the Mississippi Delta region, but Terrebonne Parish is not included in that list. By amending the existing law, the bill would make Terrebonne Parish eligible for the same regional development funding and resources as other Delta parishes. The bill was introduced in October 2024 by Louisiana representatives and referred to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Financial Services Committee for consideration. The legislation does not specify new funding amounts or timelines, as it simply expands eligibility for existing Delta Regional Authority programs.
