"We have the La. 1-415 connector, which is one of our big projects here, of course, we've got the Intracoastal Canal current bridge replacement program, which is another one, we also have a consolidated sewer project just kicking off, which is a big infrastructure project for our parish," Manola said.

Manola has held the parish president seat since he was elected in 2023.
