All South Celebrates Gonzales Civic Center Re-Opening
All South is excited to take part in the re-opening of the Gonzales Civic Center. Following the devastating effects of the August 2016 floods, All South became instrumental in preparing the civic center for its re-opening. Our project managers successfully coordinated the design through construction, while our grant managers worked diligently to secure FEMA/grant funding for this project. Much to the City’s delight, the civic center re-opened just in time for the annual Jambalaya Fest!
All South was also able to secure Hazard Mitigation funding for the City, and, in conjunction with City officials and the design team, implemented removable flood gates surrounding the Center for added protection.
Job well done to all those involved, and congratulations to the City of Gonzales on the re-opening!
