The East Baton Rouge Comprehensive Plan or “FUTUREBR” is an opportunity to shape future growth in the city and parish over the next 30 years. This project is based on an inclusive, parish-wide process to craft a new vision, policy framework, and implementation strategies that reflect the needs and aspirations of parish residents.
FUTUREBR will guide the physical development of the city and provide a framework within which individuals, businesses and public officials can make decisions that are consistent with the community's vision for the future. The Comprehensive Plan will guide future policy decisions related to land use, urban design, housing, economic development, open space, and transportation in EBR. The Strategic Plan will layout immediate implementation actions – from the outset this plan has been designed with implementation in mind.
The Four Components of FUTUREBR:
- Core values and goals
- Conceptual vision for the future
- Executive summary of the plan
The Comprehensive Plan (adjusted every 5-10 years)
- Policy framework for land use, transportation, transit, urban design, infrastructure, environmental, recreation, housing, public services and facilities, redevelopment and health and human services
Strategic Implementation Plan (adjusted every 1-2 years)
- Action items for the City-Parish to pursue now
- Detailed plans for targeted areas and the City-Parish’s initiatives
Monitoring Plan (adjusted annually)
