Landrieu, Dardenne Inscribe Poverty Point As World Heritage Site
“More than 3,000 years ago, Poverty Point was an economic engine for this region, and it will be again as a World Heritage Site.

Landrieu said. “The process to secure this status for Poverty Point has truly been a team effort. Without the work of Lt. Gov. Dardenne and his staff, State Senator Francis Thompson, and the staff and high-ranking officials of the Departments of State and Interior who have spent countless hours on this nomination, we would not be here today. I appreciate that the World Heritage Committee gave Poverty Point this recognition and confirmed what we in Louisiana have known for many years: Poverty Point is a true cultural landmark and it deserves this recognition.”
