BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A bill that gives the local government more authority in dealing with blighted property has advanced in the regular legislative session. Blight is a growing problem in cities all across Louisiana. The issue of rundown properties in Baton Rouge had the attention of Mayor-President Sid Edwards as he was preparing to take office. “Since 2016, more than 64,000 calls for service in East Baton Rouge on blight issues have occurred, almost 19 calls a day,” said Edwards.
