Artists Wanted: Design a Community Mural in Zachary
Apply by May 30
Build Baton Rouge has the authority to create and administer development districts—special-purpose areas that generate revenue to support infrastructure, redevelopment, and public amenities in targeted neighborhoods. These districts allow us to capture and reinvest local value—whether through tax increment financing (TIF), special assessments, or other mechanisms—to fund improvements that directly benefit the community.
From street upgrades to placemaking, we help design, implement, and manage districts that balance the needs of residents, businesses, and investors. Our development district model is flexible, community-informed, and aligned with long-term planning efforts. We use this tool to unlock new funding for high-need areas where traditional financing falls short.
We establish state-authorized development districts that can collect and reinvest funds locally.
We craft district-specific financing models like TIFs, business assessments, or infrastructure fees.
We manage ongoing district activities, including budgeting, reporting, and compliance.
We ensure district investments reflect broader planning goals and community priorities.
We lead transparent engagement to build support and collaboration around district formation and use.
