Entergy Gulf States Louisiana donated its long abandoned Government Street building to the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority, spearheading a long-standing initiative to renovate the blighted Mid City Warehouse Design District and make it a gateway into Downtown Baton Rouge.

The 6-acre, 261,360-square-foot parcel, on Government, near Circa 1857, holds 11 buildings and was once home to the city's first electric railway service in the 1800's. An existing rail line borders the western edge of the property.
