Did IBM or whoever it was ever finish building downtown?
It's been open for awhile.
Those deals with the state usually work like this. They promise to hire x number of people and get subsidized. They create a bunch of jobs paying below market rates, claim they can't fill them all and hire a bunch of H1B1s

The developer did very well.

Happening now. Most nice neighborhoods allow people to tear down and build two houses. Tara has it it in their zoning laws you can’t so developers buy then remodel then sell for 450-500k in Tara. Your looking at 300k for a gut job to 500-600 remodeled.

Would need to attract the proper industry there. The government not really going out of their way to be business friendly

None of those areas have ever really been less than they are currently. Hence, there’s no gentrification.

Yup. I went back 2 years ago. Detroit is way better than NOLA or BR right now. We know, we know, the food isn’t as good, but the environment in Greektown or outside a Tigers game is fun, and a police presence gives you an element of safety you don’t get in Louisiana.

Detroit was once the epicenter of American manufacturing and the wealthiest city in the US. Nola or BR have never been anything like that. Nola was an important Southern city maybe 50-60 years ago. BR has never been much more than an industrial city with LSU and the state government.

Gentrification requires affluent investors with a desire to relocate to older/poor areas. Baton Rouge has a lot of competition and little to offer. I could see this happening in New Orleans, but Baton Rouge really has nothing other than LSU athletics.

Not sure what to expect now that the Baxter family has opened to ports to the New Yorkers.

Look at where NO and La. were pre civil war.
Yes, it was a long time ago, but NO had a lot going for it.

I own an entire city block on scenic hwy around Exxon. You couldn’t sell it and buy a new Tahoe.
Gentrification would be awesome.
Only thing I can think to do with it is open a jail.

It's not unimportant due to the Mississippi River and the industrial activity around here but it's also not even top 15 in the US either.
