WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) announced the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will grant Louisiana $52,727,798.00 in the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Fiscal Year 2023 Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure and Safety Modernization Grants from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
"Pipelines transport the energy required to fuel our daily lives," said Dr. Cassidy. "This funding will enhance the safety and efficiency of our infrastructure for years to come."
Background
PHMSA’s grant programs reimburse up to 80 percent of the operating costs for state programs charged with inspecting transmissions, distribution pipelines, and underground storage facilities within state boundaries.
Last year, Cassidy announced Louisiana received $27.4 million from IIJA to improve natural gas infrastructure.
