The Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Carencro have signed a partnership agreement to complete projects intended to prevent the city from future floods. The Corp selected a plan calling for the clearing, grubbing, and dressing of over two miles of the Beau Bassin Coulee and the construction of a 6.9 acre retention pond. Corp officials say the $5.45 million project is anticipated to reduce damages from a 25-year rainfall event by nearly 90 percent.
