It is economic development at a good time. It's not the start or the finish. The negative responses are people with no vision and will always be negative. Bitch about traffic - won't pay a tax to fix it. Those people. No one seems to realize shite cost money.


Well said. It's good for the city and the region. Not everybody who graduates from LSU wants to work for Exxon. If BR can begin to foster some semblance of a tech-based economy, it will be a step in the right direction. The city is just beginning to realize it's potential. Hopefully it will continue.

I agree and there is certainly nothing wrong with working for Exxon or Dow or any of them - it will be a great mix to have both and I do believe it is on the cusp of some good things.
