The University of Louisiana at Monroe will break ground on a much-anticipated project at
2:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 6, at 807 HWY 80.
The ULM Doppler Radar, funded by GOHSEP (the Governor's Office of Homeland Security
and Emergency Preparedness), will fill a dire need in the region, with the closest
Doppler systems being housed in Shreveport and Jackson.
The new radar will provide coverage for Caldwell, East Carroll, Franklin, Jackson,
Lincoln, Madison, Morehouse, Ouachita, Richland, Tensas, Union and West Carroll Parishes.
The radar serves a pivotal addition for northeast Louisiana, and for the ULM atmospheric
science program.
