Senator Cassidy says Louisiana is making progress in infrastructure

MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Senator Bill Cassidy says Louisiana is making progress in infrastructure following the approval of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill funding.

Senator Cassidy says $1.4 billion was approved by Governor Landry, making Louisiana the first state to get federal approval for a plan to build statewide broadband.

Cassidy also says so far Ruston and Morgan City have taken advantage of this funding.

“With this money we’re receiving from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, we’re creating an even better state for families and businesses. Ruston got a Raise grant several years ago and they built a connector between the City of Ruston and Louisiana Tech University, we just cut the ribbon recently. In the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill we quadrupled the money going to such grants,” says Senator Bill Cassidy.

For information on how to apply for federal grants visit Senator Cassidy’s website.

Fox 44 News and NBC 33 News, a pair of Baton Rouge broadcast news stations formerly under the banner of BRProud, have launched a new joint brand: Louisiana First News.

The stations, also known respectively as WGMB-TV and WVLA-TV, announced the rebranding Friday.

In a statement announcing the move, the stations call the launch of Louisiana First News a “unified news endeavor rooted in [Louisiana’s] authentic culture and dedicated to providing all the information Louisianans want and need to know.”

The stations also say that viewers should expect “additional changes” going forward, though they do not hint at what those changes might entail.

WGMB-TV and WVLA-TV are both under the umbrella of Nexstar Media Group, the largest owner of local television stations in the nation. The media group currently has 200 owned or partner stations in 116 U.S. markets, according to its website.
