The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority is partnering with Restore the Mississippi River Debt to bring a series of Community Conversations for the 2029 Coastal Master Plan. The conversations are coming early in the process to ask questions, share concerns, and hear what is most important to your communities. By better understanding local priorities and having these conversations, CPRA will be able to incorporate them into the planning and analysis from the beginning to create a more impactful and representative 2029 Coastal Master Plan.
The date for the Lake Charles area is Tuesday, Apr. 23, from 5-7 p.m. at Grand Lake Elementary School, 1039 LA-384, Lake Charles.
A complimentary meal will be served at each event.

The Coastal Master Plan is a complex process of engagement and analysis. Our final plan illustrates how coastal communities may experience a changing coastal landscape and how we plan to address those challenges. Community engagement is integral to this process, with collaboration and communication between residents, key stakeholders, and CPRA being of the utmost importance. Louisiana’s coastal residents are one of our greatest resources, bringing a diverse set of knowledge, experiences, and perspectives to the table. By better understanding local priorities and having these conversations before project development, CPRA will be able to incorporate coastal residents’ priorities into the planning and analyses from the beginning to create a more impactful and representative 2029 Coastal Master Plan.
The public is encouraged to attend, participate, and extend this invitation to the communities and citizens you represent. If you have any questions, please contact MasterPlan@la.gov or Coastal@la.gov.
