GALLIANO COMPLEX UPDATE: Parish President Mitch Orgeron toured the construction site yesterday to look at the progress at the Galliano Complex. The Government Complex was damaged during Hurricane Ida. The pictures in this post are from the tour yesterday. This complex will once again be the home to Parish Government Offices, Head Start, and the Lafourche Parish Library’s South Branch.
