Some of the major improvements include having the zoo’s entrance to open at Highway-19, a giraffe feeding exhibit, and an underwater viewing area for the hippopotamus enclosure.

quote:

The Greenwood Community Park, which is near the zoo, will also see changes. Improvements include expanding the park and adding activities like zip-lining and miniature golf.

quote:

“This park [and] this zoo is in the heart of a community that has had a lack of investment over the years,” said Sharon Weston-Broome, East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor. “The community gives us their tax dollars. We take those tax dollars and ask them what they want to see us do, and that’s what this was an example of,” said Corey Wilson, BREC Superintendent.

quote:

The master plan is divided into seven phases. The final phase is projected to be complete by 2046.


I hope that's a typo. If that's the case, they should have just rebuilt the thing in a better location

In a lot of places you could trust them to have a 25 year plan. Baton Rouge is not one of those places.

It has to coincide with the groundbreaking for the loop.

Hell the new MSY terminal will still be under construction.
