Governor Jeff Landry named former state lawmaker and Terrebonne Parish President Gordon Dove as the Chairman of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority. Landry says Dove is the right man to ensure that coastal restoration projects are built swiftly and economically…
“We want to see rock. We want to see concrete. We want to see levies. We want to see things that protect our coast, that build our coast, and ensure that the community here can survive.”
Landry says Dove took the job because he wants to restructure the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority…
“Make the board more of a functioning, managing board that oversees the projects that are necessary to protect our coast.”
Landry also named petroleum engineer Ben Bienvenu as the Commissioner of Conservation. He says Bienvenu and Natural Resources Secretary Tyler Gray will work to increase refining capacity in Louisiana…
“We’re committed to making sure that Louisiana – over the next four years has one of the most robust oil and gas most expiration, midstream, and refining operations in the country.”
Landry says Louisiana refines 21-percent of the crude oil that’s down from 23-percent eight years ago and the governor wants to get that two-percent back.
