Cortana wouldn't be a bad distribution center.
And it has good access to airport.

Their HQ or a distribution center?
One is actually plausible. The other is fantasy.

The Baton Rouge North Economic Development District, a body created last year to spur investment in the northern part of the parish, is set to begin receiving its dedicated funding next month.
The black women on the Council will all take corruption to a level that we have never seen before. You thought the Council on Aging shite was bad,
watch this shite show. I predict two of the four will be in deep shite within 18 months.

their official HQ

We need Amazon in north Baton Rouge. Some will say this is a pipe dream and we shouldn’t even try. I believe that if the people in Amazon really wants to make a mega impact with their investment and show what revolutionizing a city can look like, there is no better place that north Baton Rouge.
North Baton Rouge has some issues, struggling education, crime, and a high HIV rate. All of which could be largely impacted and solved through an investment like the one Amazon will make in some city in America. As a society we have to be serious about change and meaningful impact with our resources if we are going to change this country.
With the type of moves Amazon is projected to make in the future, having a southern and northern headquarters makes perfect sense. Baton Rouge is home to Southern University, LSU, and BRCC. All institutions of higher education that they can plug into and create a direct pipeline of professionals.

Too often we try to paint a picture like the city is perfect when attempting to attract businesses. We need to begin to show companies what they can transform by coming. Can you imagine if a company brought 50,000 jobs to north Baton Rouge? That would revolutionize this community. Construction jobs alone could help reduce crime if we talk about bringing in people from 70805 and 70802 as new hires for some of the companies that work.

Wow, he actually wrote about that?

So much stupidity in that statement that I hardly know where to begin.
Calling SUBR and CCBR "institutes of higher learning" is good for a laugh.

You can probably snatch a few rental properties now for about 35k apiece. Buy low and sell high brother

This is actually a great point

To a degree yes. I don't think that "Come to North BR for the crime, stay for the AIDS" is a winner, though.

Why not move in?
Completely under homestead exemption at that level, so you'd avoid property taxes like everyone else that lives in north Baton Rouge.

The part about "come help us rebuild our city".

It's going to be a feeding frenzy with the main players jostling for position in the buffet line.

How many indictments will come from this do you think?

Are you implying that you wouldn't be welcomed into north Baton Rouge with open arms and friendship?

The locals living next to you may welcome you but others will try to welcome themselves to your stuff.
My in-laws used to live in a reasonably nice house and property in north BR until they got tired of that shite and moved to the country.

Your problem with a tax for out of towners?
And what's the republican plan? How would republicans redevelop north BR?
