The Mississippi Riverfront - our city's greatest asset. The river influenced the location of Baton Rouge, starting development in the heart of what is now downtown. We have a strong connection to our riverfront, and many amenities abutting it, but there is plenty of opportunity to enhance the riverfront experience for our citizens and visitors. As we plan what improvements may be made to the riverfront, we must consider potential future improvements to the River Center and plan how together, they could better contribute to our region's overall social and economic vitality.

Last week, the Mayor-President and the DDD hosted an open house event showcasing the work of the LSU Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture fourth year students, highlighting their ideas on how to enhance the riverfront as a major regional attraction. To view the students' ideas/designs and provide us input on how you would like to see the riverfront improved, please view the full breakdown and complete the Riverfront Survey.
