SBEDF Protocols
In accordance with Louisiana’s phased back to business plan, the SBEDF offices have reopened and are operating with limited staff in place. At this time, we are not accepting walk-ins. In-person meetings must be made by appointment only and scheduled in advance. SBEDF requires all employees and guests to wear a mask and submit to a temperature check upon arrival at the facility. Employees and guests must check-in at the St. Bernard Port’s Administration Building (downstairs from the SBEDF offices) before entering the SBEDF floor.
