• The parish is also building an outdoor bathroom facility, a new parking lot and pathways to connect the venues, according to a statement.

By the numbers: TEH Enterprise won the contract, parish leaders say.

• The state Department of Treasury is funding $750,000, along with a private donation of $900,000.
• The rest will come from the parish's recreation fund.

What's next: Construction is expected to begin in August with completion in fall 2024.
