New Orleans stormwater program marks 100th home project April 8, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A program to install stormwater control features at up to 200 homes in one flood-plagued New Orleans neighborhood is halfway there, city officials said Thursday. The 100th project was completed in March at the home of Stephanie Thomas in New Orleans' Gentilly neighborhood, according to a news release from the city and the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority. “The new rain garden and permeable driveway in front of my house are not only eye-catching (my neighbors have been asking me all about them!), but they have also reduced the amount of front yard flooding that we used to get with heavy rain," Thomas said.
