It honestly wouldn't be a bad thing for the Baton Rouge area if the a greater proportion of the inevitable suburban development was in areas that were not as dependent on I-10 or I-12.
Zachary, Central, the Felicianas, etc.

Growth biggest issue in Zachary
Fast-growing Zachary landing another retail center
quote:
OCT 3, 2018
MayorDavid Amrhein, a former city councilman, said he’ll keep recruiting businesses to Zachary to bolster sales tax collections, which account for more than half the city’s budget, and give residents more local shopping options. He predicts residential developers will continue flocking to Zachary — and he believes that is a good thing.

Yay. More cookie cutter home future loan defaulters headed your way.

surely it won't all be developed at once. So you're saying they wont be building 600+ houses at the same time?
Almost never are entire developments built at one time. The developer must maintain a balance of supply and demand. Cannot flood the market. However, plans must be approved by the municipality, thus the entire project (multiple phases) will be approved up front. In the case that additional are not built within a certain timeframe, the plans must be re-submitted to the municipality for reapproval.

Developers have plans for a 70,000-square-foot retail center on Main Street in Zachary across from the Walmart Supercenter.
Those new turn lanes on Main street came in the nick of time.

The planned retail center comes as Zachary is continuing its rapid growth, with three new subdivisions and the mixed-use development Americana under construction. Some 186 new homes were built in the city in 2017, and Amrhein projects more than 200 will be completed in 2018. The city’s population, meanwhile, has grown more than 17% since the 2010 census, from 14,900 to 17,500.
Yikes. That's definitely not typical of Louisiana cities.

It was a joke silly

The mayor there is pro-growth to a fault. He wants growth at any cost. The City didn't have a good plan for development and it got away from them. The city is way too track home and apartment development heavy with less and less higher end development.

Take a look at the North shore for a glimpse into your future. TL;DR, traffic and flooding.

Baton Rouge is slowly becoming the better choice to live once again.

I don't disagree so long as the ratio to single family owner-occupied homes to apartment units does not change.
Both add traffic and place new demands on parks, schools, drainage, etc. The apartments often don't age well and tend to rely on subsidized rents rather than modernizing after 20 or so years.

Christ, more of them?
Copper Mill and Americana are still filling out on the high end of costs and there are numerous other neighborhoods still being built in the medium and low ends of costs.
At this point, I don’t think flooding is nearly the concern that infrastructure is. Old Scenic is 2 lanes for the better part of 61 by Jetson Correctional to 61 at the edge of West Feliciana. If they keep building huge neighborhoods on this road, they’ll need to add more than an occasional turn lane.

I see Zachary is getting on the Livingston and ascension parish plan of just continually developing neighborhoods with no regards for the effects they have on infrastructure and flooding. I mean it’s worked out so well for those other two

964 is going to need to be a divided 4 lane road very soon - at least between 61 and Port Hudson-Pride road.

Another DR Horton development. Nothing like a bunch of shite-quality homes.

What would be the "projected/expected" return on this investment?

Are these track homes similar to tract homes?

Maybe they'll be affordable starter homes for millennials commuting to Dallas.
