Old South Baton Rouge Revitalization
In 2005, CPEX hired RKG Associates and a team of consultants to create a Strategic Neighborhood Revitalization and Economic Development Plan that identified strategies and implementation steps to generate reinvestment in the Old South Baton Rouge (OSBR) neighborhood, a historic but disinvested community between downtown Baton Rouge and Louisiana State University. This three square mile area of approximately 11,800 residents is both culturally and historically rich, yet suburban growth and increased mobility has led to a steady population decline over the past several decades, causing many residents to seek opportunities outside of OSBR. Blight and poverty now plague this once vibrant community. Yet despite these current struggles, the legacy of the neighborhood is strong and many residents are committed to bringing their community back to prosperity.
The Neighborhood Plan for OSBR identified strategies and implementation steps to generate reinvestment in the area. Following these recommendations, CPEX has begun several key revitalization programs within the community.
