The document outlines a proposed capital improvements program for East Baton Rouge Parish that would address public safety, drainage, and economic development needs through major construction projects over 7 years. It proposes funding the $887 million program through a property tax and half-cent sales tax. The program would improve outdated jail, juvenile, and public safety facilities, enhance drainage, redevelop the riverfront, and expand the convention center to create over 23,000 permanent jobs.
