the money for roads such as the Green Light Plan has dedicated funding as well and that also would not change with or without a new city.
However road repairs of city, not parish, roads would be the responsibility of the city of St George just like the Zachary & Baker Departments of Public Works are responsible for the repairs of city streets within their city limits.
The SG proposed budget has allocated a whopping $500,000 for road repairs and right of way maintenance annually. That's about a mile of street overlay.
And remember the proposed city of SG is larger in area than the area of the city of Baton Rouge. At least it was before all of the annexations happened. It's probably about the same now.

After looking at the map boundaries, I think you may be mistaken. Appears to be about 1/2 the size of Baton Rouge.

All over the parish? Baton Rouge is not building anything in SE BR. In fact, they are stealing money from little children to build the Kip Mahal downtown. At least that is what I have been told...

I live in the Houston area and there are villages (mini cities) all over within Houston. There's Central and Zachary. In the New Orleans area there's Gretna, Westwego, Kenner, and Harahan. These are little incorporated cities that have formed and survived, even thrived, for years. None of those are trying to de-corporate. Taxes are apparently bearable.
What makes the idea of SG so frightening to you?
