Who fills a $2M gap in Louisiana pensions? East Baton Rouge taxpayers could be on the hook.

Park sign, at a grand opening Saturday, Jan. 28, 2017 for BREC’s Anna T. Jordan Community Park recreation center, which has undergone an extensive renovation and expansion. Over a decade ago, as part of the ‘Imagine Your Parks’ strategic plan, Anna T. Jordan Park was developed into a larger community park, Baton Rouge’s first, designed to serve a larger geographic area than a neighborhood park. Through funding from State Capital Outlay. While in the Louisiana Senate, Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome championed efforts to receive state funding and secured $1,435,000 for the project, and a total cost of $1,922,800 added 6,400 square feet of additional space to the recreation center that includes a new fitness center, conference room, computer lab, new restrooms, new storage spaces and a new dressing room for the gym stage. In addition, the gym is now air conditioned and the floor has been completely resurfaced just in time for the start of youth basketball season.
