For ROUZAN

What Can I Do?

Now that the first phase of Rouzan has been approved it is important that those concerned on either side of the issues with Rouzan stay involved to ensure the best possible integration of Rouzan into the surrounding neighborhoods.  Here are a few suggestions to ensure that Rouzan lives up to its possibilities.

• Stay involved with the Rouzan Development Team.  Contact JTS Interests and meet with them to discuss the Rouzan development.  Offer suggestions and make comments on what you would like to see in Rouzan.  Continue to meet with them periodically as the Rouzan design develops and moves into the final design and implementation phases.

• Next, be sure you understand the facts associated with the Rouzan development. A good place to start is the Information Section, FAQ Section, or the Developer's Web Site.

• Contact our Metro Councilman and thank him for his support of the Rouzan development.  Despite many challenges, Mr. Skyring did not waiver in his support.  Let him know that you appreciate his commitment and leadership.

• Contact the Mayor-President, the other Metro Council members, and the Planning Commission and thank those who voted in favor of Rouzan and the rezoning.  Let them know you appreciate their vision and for moving Baton Rouge forward.

• Next talk with your neighbors. When discussing Rouzan, please be respectful of everyone's opinions.  If it appears that they are confusing facts about Rouzan, suggest they investigate this site (www.for-rouzan.org) as a starting point.

Remember that each development phase must come before the Baton Rouge Planning Commission for approval.  It is important to stay involved and continue to voice your support of Rouzan to our city/parish leaders through each phase.
