BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (WAFB) – The Baton Rouge City Planning Commission has released its latest findings on the Plank Road Corridor.
This was made possible by a small technical assistance grant from the Environmental Protection Agency.
A grant from the EPA evaluated 167 properties along the 1.7-mile section of Plank Road between Mohican Street and Airline Highway.
The findings will help address the region’s lingering environmental challenges by building on a 20-year brownfield program that works to return idle land to production.
Gilles Morin of the Baton Rouge Planning Commission said: “Brownfields are sites with actual or perceived contamination that complicate redevelopment of the area.
The latest work was based on a 2018 inventory that has already identified 58 potential brownfield sites along a 1.7-mile stretch from Plank Road to Mohican Road.
