The East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority’s new interim CEO, Gwen Hamilton, met Tuesday with Mayor Kip Holden in one of her first official acts at the helm of the agency.

“It was great. We both agreed we would be working together and moving forward,” she says. “But I didn’t ask him for anything. I’m not prepared to do that yet.”
