Local legislators are hosting a public town hall meeting on July 15, 2025 at 6:30pm at The Lions Club in Ponchatoula.
Also, a public comment period is open for the Air Products Blue Energy LLC permit at the United States Army Corp of Engineers, case: MVN-2011-03218-EDM. The public comment period is currently open until July 30, 2025. Given the complexity of the potential environmental, social, and economic impacts of the project, LWF has submitted a request to the Corps for an extension to the public comment period and requested public meetings. Read that letter HERE.
