Revive Plank Road aims to develop the North Baton Rouge area into an “economic mecca,”
It used to be the “economic Mecca” of the Baton Rouge area. Then something happened but I can’t remember what (not looking for a ban) so unless that problem has been fixed, it ain’t happening.

If it has such potential, why aren't the businesses there already?
Its not zoned appropriately. Zoned for light commercial and residential. Anything related to air travel, shipping, distribution, or warehouse storage would suit that area extremely well but it would need to be rezoned.

we should seriously look at a major reformat of Airline Highway to a major commuter route
I agree. Raise it and make it a toll road with one way feeders on either side of the highway to service the existing retail!

Explain. What potential? Do you believe crime is not a factor in why North BR is always a crime ridden shithole?
Crime doesn't matter if its not retail. Warehouse and distribution centers located near the airport. Area just needs to be rezoned...they need to abandon the idea of retail commercial in that area.

Someone needs to tell these economic morons to stop building in S. BR and head to N. BR.
South Baton Rouge doesn't want light industrial. There's already enough industrial near the river. I'm talking economic drivers along Plank rd. not retail /commercial. Things that bring jobs. We are talking economic potential not making it a retail center that would just get robbed.
