— Ten years after the Great Flood of 2016, Youngsville has made major changes to better handle heavy rainfall and reduce the risk of future flooding. The flooding left homes in several parts of Youngsville with 7 to 12 inches of water inside. At the time, the city and parish were using a five-year drainage standard, Granger said. McBade's work is continuing, with the company focused on maintaining momentum and taking a proactive approach to flood protection. “The citizens of Youngsville know that we are in the proactive mode and we are not in the reactive mode anymore 10 years later after the storm,” Granger said.
