Several projects underway with aim to revitalize busy midcity corridor

Work has started or is getting ready to begin on several development projects that will transform Government Street.
Construction is underway on a model block of local businesses near Baton Rouge Magnet High. In the next few months, a nonprofit tied to Catholic High will look for partners to help with the redevelopment of Westmoreland Shopping Center. By September, the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority plans to select an outside firm to help with the redevelopment of a 100-acre area surrounding the old Entergy site at 1509 Government St. And public meetings to improve the Government Street traffic flow and make it more bike friendly should be held in the next 90 days.
In anticipation of all the activity, a number of businesses are relocating to Government Street, including Anthony’s Italian Deli, a Florida Boulevard restaurant that has become beloved for its muffulettas and spaghetti and meatballs, and Giraphic Prints, a graphic design and T-shirt business.
The objective is to have the 11 miles of road reworked by the end of 2015.

Cool. Grow your hair, ride a bike, get a tattoo. Grab a bag of pot and a guitar. Good times.

BR needs more hipsters

crap, just sold rental property that was a block off of Government probably would have gone up in price.

I don't understand why people hate hipsters. They don't bother anyone and they don't hurt property values.

I guess whoever downvoted me would rather more gang members

Sorry man, shouldve kept it a little longer. I rent a block off of govt and love it. Theyre already installing some of the new lights and making the crappy parts look less crappy.

Gays, hipsters, anyone willing to take control and contribute in a positive way to their community. Cockroaches are better than the thugs that have infested the area

I didn't Downvote you but maybe there's a possibility the aforementioned hipsters would push the undesirables to their neck of the woods? Those still have to go somewhere.

I would much rather have hipsters than gang bangers even if the hipsters smell worse.

I hear ATL is wonderful this time of year.
Now once the Braves choke in the playoffs and the Failcons shat the bed, not so much.

oh yes, because the only alternative to hipsters is gang members.
You really need to get out and see the world. Posted on 7/14/14 at 12:02 am to Turkey_Creek_Tiger

The Government Albertson's is a hipster haven from 5p to 7p.
