The public record at this stage

On August 18, the U.S. Economic Development Administration announced an $8.3 million disaster-supplemental award to Hurt for construction of a new water-treatment plant.

That is a confirmed award, not a completed plant.

This is the public introduction to part 16 of The Gretna Water Files. The complete analysis, document checklist and next-record questions are included in the paid series; essential safety notices and official contact links remain outside the paywall.
