The coastal cliff: Think for a moment of how closely you've come to associate the words "coastal restoration project" with "BP oil spill money." This once unheard-of pairing has been linked for years now, but that won't always be the case. Mark Schleifstein has a look at preparations for what happens after the money runs out. Keep up with environment issues by subscribing to our Louisiana Coastal Watch newsletter, emailed weekly. It's free. A better future: The former Holy Cross school site has been abandoned and deteriorating since Hurricane Katrina, and for most of that time neighbors have felt that alternative plans for the landmark have been about as unpalatable. Stephanie Riegel has the story of a new future for the site that has the support of nearby residents. If this story interests you, consider signing up for our NOLA Business Insider newsletter. What's in a name? A lot. The Camp Beauregard installation in Pineville — one of two main sites for the Louisiana National Guard — will get a new name later this year as it follows the Army’s lead in moving away from bases named for Confederate officers. The rechristening, which has the support of more than two-thirds of recent survey respondents, is expected in about another month. Faimon Roberts has the story.
