Venues 2019
Baton Rouge Area Chamber
The generous conference room of the new offices of the Baton Rouge Area Chamber will host our annual chapter meeting and lecture sessions for the 2019 State Planning Conference.
Louisiana State Capitol
We've arranged to set up an APA Louisiana table in the Memorial Hall of our state capitol building. Here we'll represent our profession and enter House and Senate Chambers to observe our legislature in session.
"The Loft" at Cecelia
"The Loft" at Cecelia Creole Bistro offers a fantastic view overlooking the Mississippi River from downtown Baton Rouge. We'll enjoy socializing and then present "Partners in Planning" awards to notable elected officials, journalists and engineers.
LSU Center for River Studies
One mobile workshop option is to tour LSU's Center for River Studies in The Water Campus. Due to ongoing construction activity, we must arrive only by shuttle bus and the tour is limited to the first 50 applicants.
Downtown Walking Tour
A second mobile workshop option is to participate in a walking tour of downtown Baton Rouge. Led by the DDD's Whitney Hoffman Sayal, the tour will highlight projects restored utilizing Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits.
Red Stick Social
Stick around Friday afternoon for another social opportunity with your colleagues. Red Stick Social is BR's brand new bowling, live music, and entertainment venue in the Electric Depot, an old Entergy power facility renovated through the efforts of the East Baton Rouge Parish Redevelopment Authority.
Getting Around
Mostly we anticipate walking as most destinations are within six or fewer blocks from each other. The exceptions are The Water Campus for which a private shuttle will be used, and the Electric Depot on Government Street which you may drive to following the Friday morning activities. CATS operates the Capital Park Shuttle (Route 16) which has a mostly north-south route up and down Third and Lafayette streets - linking North Boulevard Town Square to the "North Campus" of government offices on the shore of Capitol Lake, north of the State Capitol. The Capitol Park shuttle is FREE and operates on a 30 minute headway.
