Work on the newly acquired land to convert it into commercial and industrial business tracts will begin immediately, according to John J.

Oubre, executive director of the

Port of Iberia, who noted that bids have already been asked for capital improvements to the property. He estimated the cost of proposed im- provements at approximately $1 million, adding that the project fol- lows recommendations of the re- cently revised master development plan of the port. He added that the new Sterling land addition will ex- pand current port-owned property by about 75 percent to a total of over 225 acres.

Coincident with the land pur- chase and advertising for improve- ment bids, Mr. Oubre noted that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at

New Orleans has asked for public comments on a proposal to extend the port's Commercial Canal across

Vermilion Bay and into the Gulf of

Mexico. If approved, the project would give the Port of Iberia a 12 x 150-foot channel connecting the port with deep water in the Gulf.
