The property backs up to Ward Creek, which has been recently dredged by Army Corps of Engineers. This is about a mile and a half north of Manchac, so drainage should not be an issue.
Okay.. I remember Ward Creek being dredged.. But wasn't familiar with the exact location. Thanks.

Well if we get nice stores & restaurants in there and make a concerted effort from the sheriff’s office across the street to police it heavily.. I could see this being very nice for the area.
We’ve always complained that this side of town doesn’t have enough options to eat/drink/shop. Plus it will keep dollars in St.George.

It will be over run by non-tippers and have chargers burning rubber in the parking lot before the developers can fill the retail space

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but, you're right

This is key.
They have to allocate a chunk of budget every year to active policing or it'll go the way of everything else like this in Louisiana.

Louisiana Firearms is building an awesome place there.
Based on the OP, it sounds like the entire development came out of the Louisiana Firearms complex.

That's a ton of retail and office. I mean good luck to him, I hope it's a very successful development, but I have my doubts.
Feel like there has to be some sort of residential component, a significant public amenity, or a signature tenant HQ to make it work.
Will be interesting to see what kind of office space they build out. There’s a huge commercial presence in that area already but a lot of those businesses are suppliers who also need warehouse space. I wouldn’t think those types of businesses would be super compatible with a mixed-use development.
That said, I’ve seen a trend over the past few years of companies separating offices from warehouses/shops.

One would think that since Louisiana Firearms is going to be a major player in this, the security in the area would have to be good.

make the shops expensive to keep the trash out and no loitering
Once the first Footlocker goes in, it's all said and done.

First, this looks cool and definitely fills a need. I would support this, but....
There is no way the numbers for this work without a significant residential housing component. We will see how excited everyone is when the real plans come out that show a few hundred (probably higher-end) residential units similar to Perkins Rowe.
