Parts of LSU and it's property south of the main campus were not within city limits. They agreed to annex.



Were the LSU areas originally in the City of St George?

I believe he's talking about LSU's South Campus, the area around Gardere/GSRI. The main campus was never in the proposed area.

Not to be a typical, condescending OT prick, but there is oodles of information about this whole deal all over the internet if you're really looking to become informed about it.

Parts of LSU's 2,000+ acres were not in the city limits of BR. They are now all within BR.

The main takeaway from this is it allows for more opportunities to create a contiguous piece of land for Lauberge.

There is no City of St. George and there never has been a City of St. George. It's a Louisiana place name, like Oak Hills or Inniswold, and has no government other than the City-Parish. About 7,000 souls live in this place and they want to create out of whole cloth a city the size of Lafayette, fourth largest city in the state.
