• SMP Council hears about GUMBO 2.0 broadband (techetoday.com) — St. Martin Parish leaders are rolling out GUMBO 2.0 broadband upgrades, aiming to bring fiber service to more than 2,600 locations while avoiding the utility damage and internet outages seen in the first phase. The council also ratified longtime law enforcement professional Stacey Blanchard Bouquet as the new OHSEP director, a move that shapes how Breaux Bridge and surrounding communities will be protected during future floods and emergencies.
