NATCHITOCHES — The Cane River Waterway Commission this week announced a $3 million improvement project to the downtown Natchitoches riverbank.
According to a news release from the agency, the project will be a collaboration between the commission and the City of Natchitoches.
This exciting enhancement will be called the Rue Beauport Riverfront project.
The commission is funding $2.5 million of the work, which will include restroom additions, enlargement and improvement of the covered pavilion and accessibility upgrades.
