If Addis can do one with Sugar Mill...not sure it will be too much of a problem in Zachary. Though I don't know the acreage the Sugar Mill development takes up.

It’s a shame cultra can’t get its shite together after all these years and not ruin everything it touches, ain’t it?

The paper mill doesn’t have any jobs at the moment… it’s not thriving like it used to since they cut production.

It went from over 1200 jobs down to around 200 right?

Sugar Mill came out relatively well. It also took about 10 years to build out.
But they are planning another one about a half mile up LA1 that's even larger. I think the people that work at those plants on the west bank are buying all those houses. Easier the commuting over the bridge.

For approximately 1,000 homes not really

I’m not sure of the numbers but they cut back drastically… now if you can find decent employment in BR Zachary is not that bad with the schools being so good… but…..

Zachary is 30% black and this development would be less than 0.5 miles from the leland college neighborhood in Baker.

I don’t like this one bit, this will just be mass produced homes which will result in poor quality

Can you give one reason why any sane person, white or black, would not want to distance themselves from “cultra”?

The success of the school system is killing this place. I know quite a few people who are actively looking so they can get out soon. It's only a matter of time before it totally becomes North Baker.

Something like that. But Zachary is close enough to Baton Rouge to be a bedroom community for people that work at Exxon, downtown, or even the west bank.
Did Copper Mill ever finish their clubhouse?

I know they have good schools, but they have got to be bursting at the seams by now.

Depending on the quality of people in that development, it may make visiting day go easier.
New women's prison on the other side of the river should start construction soon.

I don't really have an issue if Baton Rouge develops more in that direction. There's too damn many new houses in Ascension and Livingston. Traffic is insane.
Baton Rouge needs to sprawl to the north and the west for a while so Livingston and Ascension can catch up with their infrastructure.

They are and I think it'll be hard to raise property taxes again to the level they're at now in order to build new ones. The school system is exactly why people are moving up here. There's nothing else. We're not like Denham or Prairieville where there is a ton of other shite going on in terms of shopping, eating, etc.

It expands more than that. Commuting to Essen/Bluebonnet/Siegen in the mornings coming from the North is a breeze.

Not yet anyways....

...and I'm sure the EBR P & Z commission will rubber stamp this project, if they haven't done this already through the back door (see: Rouzan and Green Trails at Shenandoah).
