When a hurricane approaches, our levees serve as the West Bank’s last line of defense against storm surge. Continued investment in levee improvements strengthens our flood protection system and safeguards our communities.
To date, more than $23 million has been invested by the West Jefferson Levee District to raise over 18 miles of levee across the West Bank. Levee lifts like these are funded by the millage renewal on the November 15 ballot.
