Troy Carter Highlights Algiers Pool Project and Gun Safety Funding in Louisiana

Congressman Troy Carter addressed two major efforts in southeast Louisiana: a new community pool and gun safety funding. He confirmed construction is underway on a $4 million indoor swimming facility in Algiers. The project will provide year-round access to swimming, recreation, and life-saving skills in an area that has long lacked public resources. Carter also announced $1 million in federal funding for the United Way’s Safe Children Initiative. The program will distribute biometric gun safes to help prevent accidental shootings involving children. He emphasized that safe storage and education can reduce preventable tragedies.
