The Blue & Green Corridors project is being designed to combine rainfall management with symbiotic community benefits.  Updates to the urban landscape along strategic “corridors” will create multimodal transportation connections, waterways that will retain rainfall, as well as public social spaces in the GRD!

Command Construction finished the full drainage portion of the Hagan-Lafitte Drainage Upgrades and Green Infrastructure Project. This revolutionary project includes the 1.2 million-gallon water storage tank and strategically-placed flap gates that will release the stormwater into the St. Louis canal.

The Gentilly Resilience District (GRD) is a combination of resilience programs and projects in the targeted area of Gentilly THAT ARE designed to reduce flood risk, slow land subsidence, improve energy reliability and spur neighborhood revitalization.

The Pontilly Neighborhood Stormwater Network is a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)-leveraged project in the National Disaster Resilience (NDR)-funded portfolio of projects in the Gentilly Resilience District.  The HMGP-funded Phase I is currently under construction and includes bioswales, rain gardens, pervious surfacing and more.  Upon completion, it will store up to 8.9 million gallons of storm water and reduce flooding as much as 14 inches during a 10-year rain event.  Check out the project page for more information.   

Semi-permeable, green alleyways are being construction by Fleming Construction across 12 blocks of the historic Pontchartrain Park neighborhood. The alleyways stretch from Press Drive, in between each block, past Congress Street.
