One of the community services provided by his office is a Commodity Distribution Center which distributes food once a month to the elderly and income deprived citizens of District 4. The Distribution Center is located in the Central Volunteer Fire Departement Fire Station located at 11626 Sullivan Road. The contact person for more information on this program is Pete Grissom who can be reached at 261-3606. This project has enjoyed tremendous success and has played a significant role in meeting some of the needs of the community. Retail sales are stronger than ever for the year, while unemployment remains among the lowest in the state.
Violent crimes are lower with more effective policing.
Our police department rates in the top ten percent in the nation and continues to improve. Prospects downtown are brighter than ever before with our state government committing to build new office buildings in the downtown area, growth of the Centroplex, expansion and use of the Riverwalk, and prospects for a downtown hotel loom brighter. The citizens of Baton Rouge are the greatest people on earth and deserve the very best services that government is able to deliver. No governing body is perfect and participation from our citizens is encouraged. We must communicate with one another, work in harmony and continue to create a city in which we proudly work, raise our families, work in a peaceful coexistence and proudly call Baton Rouge our home.
