Stronger. Smarter. More Resilient.

Making Progress in Grand Isle

Grand Isle is proud of the major strides we’ve made in recent years. As Louisiana’s only inhabited barrier island, our town serves not only as a beloved coastal destination, but also as a vital natural buffer protecting our state’s mainland from storms.

Through strong local, state, and federal partnerships, we are building back better than ever.
