Most of the areas that Baton Rouge grabbed were retail. It will be interesting if the new St. George group will try to give the Mall, casino, and Seigen Place sweetheart deals to keep them in the city.

None of that is being reversed - it was done before the vote to incorporate.

After the vote to incorporate passed, during the lawsuit window, there were additional businesses that applied to the Metro Council to annex. Any that were approved during that window will have to be walked back.

That’s not how it works. The map on the petition is final. Those annexations are null and void.

That’s not the law. As soon as they begin circulating the petition everything is frozen. You cannot annex areas that are within the boundaries proposed. It has nothing to do with the vote.

Edit: Anything after March 2018 is prohibited from being annexed.

A new state law prohibits City Hall from annexing any more from the proposed city’s boundaries land while the petition drive, which started in March, is ongoing. LINK.

Right now it affects United Plaza, Lipseys, Turner Industries, Louisiana State Employees Retirement System, Teachers Retirement System of Louisiana and Two Sisters of Baton Rouge since they were annexed in 2020.
