Know More. Do More.
This page is a resource to City and State Government commissions, boards, and committees.
The DDD was established through state legislation and is connected to the East Baton Rouge City-Parish through that legislation and local ordinance. The connection to both the state and local government accentuates our role and ability to act as a liaison between government entities and downtown stakeholders. We navigate the complexities of regulatory requirements, advocate for policies that benefit the downtown area, and inform stakeholders about downtown items discussed/voted on at public meetings. This page was created as our stakeholders’ go to source to find governmental resources and public information that impacts them.
