The Bridge Center board has selected the C Temple Commercial Building at 3455 Florida Blvd. as the site of its planned mental health facility.

The decision—made at today’s board meeting—follows the recommendation of RI International, the Phoenix-based firm chosen to operate the center.

The property is owned by board member Collis B. Temple Jr., who was absent from today’s meeting but has previously said he would resign from the board if the site was selected.

The facility’s opening is tentatively planned for the spring.


Amazing how that happens.

Maybe they did it because they wanted him off the board

Who cares? A mental health facility is needed.

Isn't that what business people do? Look for opportunities to generate money?

Was it the best option or did they just want to get him off the board?

The old Baton Rouge General was the perfect location as it already had a behavioral health unit. :SMH:

Does Janice Clark still have a “stay” in place blocking the state’s attempt to revoke his license to operate this type of facility........?

Now listen here pal. That 2006 Final Four team owes this man gratitude. 4 of the starting 5 were his kids.
