It would be huge for Louisiana if that happened.
The state of Louisiana is fairly competitive these days for just this type of project...and Baton Rouge has both an abundance of college grads and a pretty low wage base. Until the south campus is developed, many of these parterships with LSU will have to find commercial real estate somewhere else in the city...and I guess downtown is attracting some of that.
Wasn't there another tech company that announced a move downtown about a month ago? I don't think it was anywhere near 500 jobs though. Trying to find the article.
Edit: here it is.... looks like a stand alone IT support center. 300 jobs but it looks like they are getting a grant from the state. LINK

Would be great to see this kind of development for BTR.
