The difference is that moving it 20 minutes further from Zachary means that it's still only 25 minutes away whule the Audubon Zoo is 1.5 hours from them. Moving the zoo 20 minutes closer to AP, means the zoo is less than 30 minutes from them, while the Audubon is over an hour. It puts the zoo at no more than 30 minutes drive time from all of the groups that currently patronize
Do you know where the zoo is, because its not 5 minutes from Zachary.
Moving the Zoo to the Fairgrounds site means it s now According to Google it would take you 54 minutes to drive the 26 miles to that new zoo location. To get to L'auberge from Zachary Google says 45 minutes and its 24.8 miles.
But thanks to EBR taxpayers in the entire parish the zoo people want to put it right next to Ascension Parish or Iberville Parish as not to inconvenience them!!!
I've got an even better idea, let's move the zoo to Ascension Parish and let them pay the 110 million. I bet they'd go for that if its such a big deal.

Once again, I think the Airline Highway site is a bad idea, and that it should either be further up Nicholson by the vet school or at City Park. Zachary isn't an hour from LSU. It's 25 minutes, I've driven it many times.

Except those aren't planned locations, the two I listed are.
Face it, its a bad plan.

A previous study wanted to put it off O'Neal, neat the Amite river on 640 acres. Good thing that one did not pan out or the animals would have drown in the great flood of '16...

The Monroe Zoo is like that too. You can watch people doing crack on their front porch while looking at the tiger.
I used to go there a lot with the kids I worked with... that tiger was so depressed. Some days it was pacing back and forth non-stop like it was having a nervous breakdown... others it would just lay there...fully awake but just not moving at all.... felt so bad for that thing and just about every other animal at that depression factory

Not addressing this specific post but you don't know much about zoos or this specific situation.
